was thinking about it, projectors are not something I wanted to do, still dont for some reason. Dont ask me why but its not such a big deal for me, go figure that I get annoyed by other things and have to do it asap but for some reason not projectors.

i was laughing at the sticker not the light color

the supra looks amazing and the headlights with the chrome accents look awesome but i never have been a big fan of blacked out housings on a silver car. just for some reason looks odd to me...

Love love love your MKIV I've always been a supra fan before my GS I had a MKIII, I miss my supra

I like what you did to the lights I really like it looks good. Do the brightness of the light dimmer down? now that the housing is black?

yeah it does not work on all cars, thats why i wanted to leave some chrome, I think it goes well with my black roof.

No loss in brightness, however it make it look more blue, the black I use is the lexus 204 so it has metallic in it, it made my headlights and white led have a blue tint to it now.



Will update with frontal shots when I get time to upload it
