great looking sedan there...wish you had the 5500k lights already installed before for a better comparison, but none the less the cutoff line sold me regardless. Seeing this thread makes me wish I would have been able to work out the deal on a red 6mt last year

originally i wanted a DG G37 but in the 3 months of searching i only saw one red 6mt and was warming up to having a red car (wifey's mini) so i made the deal and got it....
maybe if it wasnt for her car i would of ended up with a DG.

Spacers

How many spacers did you use for the headlights?

Don't think I've seen a better cutoff, and your blue edge is sweet! Mine is similar, but after seeing that, it's not similar enough

Thanks man. Even after tuning the lens the cutoff wasn't to my liking. Tried and tried it wasn't as smooth as I wanted. Then it just hit me it's magnifying the rough edges from when it was cut, so took a 1500grit sandpaper lightly to it to smoothen the cutoff and wow what a difference.

One this I regret is that one of the stock bulbs gave me more color that the other. Forcing me to do 2 rings on the left then 3 on the right to match them. Now with the 5500k bulbs the left is off/less. Looking at the stock bulb it was bent slightly giving the blur. If I ever take them apart again I'll have to add another ring to the left.

Wow ToXIc! I hope you don't mind, but I will definitely be drawing some inspiration from this thread. Your G is absolutely stunning. Everything you've done has been tasteful and simple. I love it.
