My buddies and I have done a few headlight mods, can I play?

jtrinh's IS300 headlights, blacked out and added an amber strip.

Another buddy's IS300, with custom angel eyes and also blacked out.

Santofu's EK headlights, painted the housings gun metal grey. I still wanna retrofit some projectors in, would be sick. Best picture I have.

Entrax's old 87 Celica, with custom projectors.

My custom low-rise projectors, a local guy made these for the MR2 and I was first to try them out. Entrax is gonna copy these and stick them in his car now, and maybe make a set for mb_ as well :P

Edit:

Also did mb_'s Cobalt headlights, just painted housings black.

nice. was going to demon eye my car but hate to think I had to redo it when the leds burn out

I've done probably 5 sets over the last couple years. Pretty easy DIY job.
only thing which is kind of a pita is removing the old sealant.

You know Quest can be converted into Elgrand quite easily right?

were angel eyes invented by BMW?

just like Altezza taillights were invented by Toyota?

The angel halos are somewhat of a trademark for Bmws, just like led strips first appeared on all main stream audis, etc.

For each manufacturer, they attempt to put something unmistakable and iconic onto their vehicles. Ie kidney grills on bmw. With that being said, if people want to put those onto their cars, and done tastefully I don't see a problem. That's what modding is about.

Also the integrated exhaust on bumper was first done by Lexus.
When IS-F first debut, people were like "exhaust isn't even connected!" but all the other manufactures started copying them.

oh but that's pretty much same as anything...who came up with the pop up headlights?

What about the vette didn't it have the same thing?

ok I did some research

this guy's got cool ideas:

One of my headlight housings need some serious reconditioning, but I'm no good at doing that stuff haha :okay:

not sure if srs or jk...:pokerface:

Another tangent brought to you by ..... timpo!

as long as the lights actually work and project a light pattern with a sharp cutoff. in other words, not ebay 100000000K HIDs in a halogen housing.
