Now take it into the dealership and trade it in. Argue that it's a TLX, and you want 25k for it.

I WISH the TLX looked THAT good.

Question- how much to build me a set?

That is hands down one of the best mods done to date on a 3G TL.

Awesome, great job. Finally got it done, you just had to get it just right.

I like the fact that you kept the signals blacked out and/cleared with LEDs in there. Just perfect. Goes just right with the Jewel eyes.

I'm also impressed how well the dimensions (height and width) fit well with the 3G headlight. Almost looks stock! Looks great!

there are 5 leds on the top that light up for the DRL.
the 3 outside bottom leds light up for the lows and the 2 inside bottom leds light up for the highs. 10 Leds total


It was also about 1200 in materials and my time

That looks weird. I like the original round headlights better, kinda like the old integras. The angel eyes just don't look like they belong there.

Excellent work though wow!

amazing work!!

i like the OEM style better and think this one looks a little off for the TL but major props for pulling off something different and making it cleanly integrated

Come on Guys!!

Give the man his props, it's spectacular!!! Hands down it was an awesome, clean job, especially how clean and neat it looks.

If someone didn't know what the car looked like before his mod, they would have thought it was straight from the factory.

Don't be surprised if Acura takes his 'hint' and follow suit.

Love it. I'm curious if the jewel eyes are being used as the DRL's also...
