hey, so from what i have been able to gather, retrofitting is just puttin HID into a non HID car, rite? so i wouldnt need that if my car already has them, right?
also, are smoked headlights the same as blacked out? i have a black 07 type s and im debatin whether to have the lights cleared, smoked, or blacked.
since i just joined, they wont let me use private messages so can u just email me please?
shubysingh@gmail.com
thank you

I have just a few questions to ask you: First of all i have an 03 Tl but i also have a 01 Infiniti QX4 and i was wondering if you would be able to mod those headlights also, maybe the foglights to? I was interested in the carbon fiber and clearing the corners of the headlights and the fogs have some amber in them that i might want cleared as well. Let me know what you think about the idea and what would work and what possibly wouldnt work so well. Thanks a lot

Kyleyayaers - I can do the clearing on the Qx4 lights as well, since you cant recieve PM's here- either leave your e-mail address or send me one at OEMxenon@yahoo.com

Im located near the OSU campus in Columbus- I go there. Where do you live at?

So far for the TL exchange program I have Edlin, DizlA, Desper, Dr Damian, and AznBenz07. Other guys please pm or sign up here.

Arch- I got rid of the TSX lights to a guy who isnt a member here. I can make another set of them if your interested.

Merkin- I currently do not have exchange lights for the 2nd gen TL's, Id reccomend getting either a beater pair to use while you get yours worked on, or a pair to be worked on for yourself on ebay since they can be found for pretty cheap.

Because this is EXACTLY the look I am going for. Do your products result in headlights like this? with that chrome strip still visible in between the blacked out parts?

i just got my headlights done, and they lightly fogged up after a carwash, and now the vendor not even replying to my emails, and told me that i should go to homedepot and fix it myself.

they look nice i mean its a realy clean job, its just i had a white filmy color on the outside edge and he said itd go away because it was just the silicone drying, but its been almost 2 weeks and its still there...

but most importantly the fogging of the headlights its what im worried about and i've been very understanding with the vendor because there are more problems but he worked with me, but after the 1st carwash.. my worse nightmares came true...

hopefully the vendor will get this and maybe email me back

thanks and im probably just oen of those unlcuky people, because i know from others that retrofit is a good company...

He is doing my head lights right now, i am not too worried, i know that he has done a lot of them in the past and he did state that he would warranty them for a year.... Too bad you have to pull the dam front end of your car off to get to em

Well see what happens....

I will make sure that i do not blast the headlights with water when washing,,,,

is there anyone in the Lower Hudson Valley or northern new jersey who has experience swapping lights on an 05 Tl? I'd love to get this done over the summer when I'm home but I personally can't get the car up and the lights off.

Anyone? I'd obviously be willing to pay for the help.

PM me if you can so I dont break this thread up

I actually ship lights to you first, so theres no waiting. after you get them, you'll send back your originals for a core refund of $325.

just finished these for Dr. Damian, sorry the pix kinda suck.









these will look good on his antracite metallic TL, I think.
