Like I said guys nothing special about the headlights except for cosmetics. I've yet to do any demon eyes or iron man leds in them.

Kenny, I think they are clean and suit the style of your car! What all was done to them? Are the just blacked out? I ask because that is probably the exact look I will go for whenever I get around to doing my headlights.

Yeah the entire housing is in gloss black and anything amber was removed and all new lenses. I actually love the subtlety of it over the iron man leds to be honest. IF I decide to do anything else MAYBE demon eyes but that's a BIG maybe. Lol

Kenny, how is this thread still here and not in the Build forum? If only you knew a moderator with skills to move things around...

Your last mod made me go research blue side mirrors. Turns out there are yellow/gold ones, too. I didn't even know this was a thing.

I can't find a good pic of the back of your car, but have you done or are you planning on doing anything to the tails?

Okay so after installing these custom blue wide mirrors I didn't actually have a chance to drive till I finished work but let me tell you guys something..... OMG WOW!

Just imagine driving around WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO BLIND SPOTS AT ALL! Out of all my mods that I've done this is clearly the smartest decision especially when it comes to safety purposes while driving. Worth every penny of the $275 and every minute of the 6-7 weeks wait time for them!

For anyone interested in them here's the link...

Dude thanks so much for everything! These headlights wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you Danny! It was really great meeting you brother!

I was thinking about moving it but for some reason didn't think this would be considered as a "build". So I'll have it renamed Kenny's Progress Thread instead lol.

I had to choose between blue to match my fog light tints or gold to match my calipers but in the end I chose blue and have absolutely zero regrets!

I purchased a set of gtr tail light tints from BlueBatMobile a few months back and messed up really bad trying to do them myself and attempted again lol. I think I'll keep them the stock red bc I don't want to have to much black on my exterior but then again I may change my mind considering these new headlights lol

Thanks Chris! I really am in love with these headlights and honestly it was worth the front splitter damage lol. I'll be taking it off the car next week after the holiday and taking off the vinyl wrap. Depending how bad the crack itself it I may just paint it gloss black but if the crack is bad then I might just consider wrapping it over again.

I'll also be taking off my Autokits v1 diffuser (and posting it for sale) and vinyl wrapping the diffuser part of the rear bumper in a gloss black to set a nice tone against the satin black vinyl wrap my car currently has. I'm just hoping it all come out right!

The headlights is what makes me think the tail lights need some loving too. Either the GTR or just a light smoke would look good I think.

Yes sir! I'll even let you take the car for a spin to get the true feel of these mirrors. They really are insane how they're able to take away all the blindspots. I'm still in awe from them.

Only car iv'e ever seen with blue tinted mirrors are Acura Tl's that came with reverse tint. Test drove an Auto TL type S before my G that had them when I still had my TSX and it felt too much like a nicer version of my TSX instead of more sporty sedan like the G. Always have loved the manual Tl-Type s(minus fwd ) but could never find one to drive.

Super Jealous Kenny, they're awesome and I bet you love them at night with cars with bright lights behind you, that tint is so nice, like a dimmed rear view mirror instead of blinding.
