Looks good. Mad props for having the guts to do something like this to your headlights. Color matched grill would be a huge plus for your IS.

Looks Sick!!!, i dont know about the blue lights though...What did you use to black them out? Regular paint? I have been wanting to do the same thing with mine, but i didnt know what to use and if it would last.

No. The IS DRL's only come on when u put it into drive and i think you also need to drive a little distance before they come on. The car is only turned on but still in park.

I agree. As i was doing the headlights i glanced over the fogs and thought about doing them but first i didnt know how and didnt even want to start to get into it, second i was lazy to even do it as the headlights themselves were hard enough and lastly i thought its not too noticable.

Also i would like to adress that although im highly open to somewhat off-topic suggestions i would appreciate an opinion on the point of this thread, which is asking for peoples opinions on the cars looks with the blacked out housings. So suggestions are welcome but dont be hestinat to leave an opinion as well! Thanks! =]

really!??? mine turns right on when i turn my car on? how weird. or maybe if i set the lights one click up which turns on the city lights and in park when turning my car on then it doesn't come on? i'll have to check on that. cool.

I've done 5 IS headlights already on my car lol it's boring now. sporty but im beginning to go back to chrome cause its ballin.

btw the fogs are soo much easier and there's a diff if you do them. noticeable too
+1 on doing your fogs.. it flows well with what you got going on

heres a pic to just see how the fogs stand out.. or not.

fogs on
