Painting the area inside the turn signal housing reduces the turn signal light output by a lot. It's designed to reflect the light from the bulb to put out a bigger and brighter flash to be seen better from further away. I opted not to get it painted and I'm glad I did. There's another local G37 with it painted and we did a side by side comparison of how well you could see the signal from a distance. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes.

They look good Sam.

Thanks for the kind words guys, that was why I asked him not to touch the fog/city light reflector. He must've just carried that over to the turn signals. I don't think I want to go through the headache of re-opening them and getting it done again.

They're actually starting to grow on me and I've gotten lots of compliments already.. one was like: "I saw your car this morning and it looks much more aggressive, don't know why though but something did change for sure lol"

Are you talking about the HID bulb? I thought the OEM 4300 was the brightest? What did you get

hmmm the lights look great no doubt, congrats. But for some reason the fact that they didnt paint your turn signal housing seem a lot more prominent than mine. i have mine done very similarly and i dont notice the chrome-like part as much as i do on yours. maybe its just me and im going crazy :P. looks great either way!!

Probably because his car is a dark color, while yours is white.

Either way, the lights look good!

Sam let me tell you.... your car looks so goooooooooood

I have the same color of your car and I got it 4 months ago
It's stock for now at least (just for few more months) but don't be surprised if you see some pictures of a car that looks like yours.... LOOOOOL (debadging is off the list)

Anyways, yours is one of the meanest looking G I've seen and I'm waiting for something new
