No I custom made them by switching the lenses off a ebay projector high beam. The chrome housing and projector looked retarded so I baked the light at 150 degrees for 15 min and popped off the lenses and swapped the stock one with this one. I just wish the regular headlights came out as well as the high beams... I tried doing the same thing with the stock projector low beam but was unsucessful.

Neither. It looks like they tinted the plastic itself. They changed the color of the dye in the clear plastic to a darker one. There is no paint, film, or scratchable material on them at all. They appear to be made with the tint in the plastic.

To be completely honest, I don't really like the headlights either. I wanted the stock ones and just switch out the lens- but when I tried it, that didn't work out; hence the way it is now...

I think the tails are too dark for the color of the car to be balanced, but I am going to paint the car darker color and get a body kit soon, so I am not worried about those. They'll blend in soon.

I like the car low, but it's hard to use it now, the front lip hits on every parking stop and high speedbump so I have to stop before them and that is hard to do when the nose of the car is so long.

I've decided to lower the back to match the front and deal with it. Right after I do my bushings.

I'm going to get the AC kit painted Abyss black with candy apple red pearl over it. Go great with the tails. I might get another set of stock headlights and try the demon eye and angel eye with a clear lens... that'll freak out my neighbors.
