Those headlights are sure to turn heads, looks great. I like the painted grille & rims too. What rims do you have on it?

Those lights really do look fantastic!! Especially on your G as a whole. Very nicely designed and put together.

Much credit for your creativity and vision!!

Thanks. The rims are 18" TSW Mallory 5's. I've had them for about six years now, including on my prior G35x too, and I still dig em haha.

Golly those headlamps are neat! So often I see these lighting projects where the owner goes "soup to nuts" but then the density of creative ideas end up forming a disharmonious result.

Not yours, Sir. Somehow you've solved the equation. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Hope you've installed some sort of protective film to preserve the lenses, would be a shame to see them get fogged/yellowed as I've seen on plenty of Gs.

Yes, they were wrapped in protective film. Definitely a must indeed.

ETrev, great looking lights. That's a good reminder about protecting the lights with PPF; I had mine done by ONEighty this past summer and still haven't gotten around to the detailer to have my headlights protected. Currently using McKee's 37 Headlight Protectant Spray on mine but no idea how long it will last so I want something more permanent to prevent UV fading.

I'm sure they don't have to wire it this way though. More than likely, if you requested them to leave the wires out that they'd be willing, as it'd be less work for them.
Yep, although Alex will wire them however you want if you are taking your car into his shop in Brooklyn (now Coney Island). He wired my halos so that they are Canadian DRL compliant -- they come on with the car's ignition and go off whenever the main headlights or parking lights are turned on. It's an extra fee but his shop does excellent work and I didn't mind paying for it.
