That looks hot dude. Just did mine like a month ago too. It makes the car look aggressive.

Between the headlight lens and the smoked headlight housing, there is a slight beam of light shining through. What I did was made a rubber boot around the housing so that the light is not shining through and the beam is cleaner.

Hey Thang,

You street legal yet - got them leveled? Would really like to see some pics with them on. I saw these the other day and he did a real clean job taking out the lines. Now that is some work!

Good job,
Ryan

Nice retrofit, way to do it right! I am going to paint my headlights body color (Lexus 4K9 PPG-equiv. Hi-Glo synthetic enamel). I have already test shot+wet-sanded a spare headlight I have. I wish I took a pic to show you guys, but oh well. It looks pretty bad *** IMO. WAAY better than the chrome at least. At the same time, I am going to pull the parking light enclosures out so that I can use Polarg M6 parking bulbs (18 watts). They are true white that matches the HID color. The only parking bulb I know of that does so. I'm hoping I can get this all done BEFORE the Carson meet, but it will be a VERY tight squeeze.
