Planning on doing this DIY with my own car, looks neat imo

The lights aren't turned on







Once the lights are on the colored projectors do not affect light output

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.

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.

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.

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.
