New Headlight Mod *update 2.2*

Update 2.2:
added night pics to page 4 plus a bonus with Alcantara

Update 2.1:
added sunlight pic to page 4

... pollen is everywhere

Update 2.0:
Well,they're repainted. With the lighter tint, the light tells more about the shape of the fenders and wraps the eye around the front and side planes of the car. I'm much happier with this look, and it matches my tails well.

John (halzazz@hotmail.com)has great customer service, as he completed all of the tint updating and photoshop previews, free of charge

I highly recommend his painting service for anyone thinking about modding their lights.

I'm getting my license plate LED kit from him soon. Stay tuned












my taillights








pics of a clean car and night pics to come later

Update 1.0:

I decided that my current tint is too dark so I am giving it another shot.

Here is the photoshop that John made of the new lighter version.

(new) lighter tint


(old) darker tint


Better or worse???

If you are looking for feedback I would have to say I hate that. Sorry, just being honest.

It looks cool but it does remind me of a Subaru a little... Most people think it's a Subi anyway...

Interesting.

These pics were posted on another forum, and basically everyone (that posted) liked them! Either way, they make me happy

I think it is one of those things you appreciate more in person.

I like how most people can't tell what it is, if I'm driving (esp. at night). This is even with the wing!
