A little halo-heavy, IMO, but undeniably cool. Good for you, man.
Thank you!!

You may be right, six halos across the front might be pushing it a bit....

Some of my favorite G37 Sedan headlights yet!

And IMO, LightWerkz is better than Go2Customs and ONEighty: Price wise, quality of work, warranty and and just reaching out to them with automotive lighting questions. They'll be doing my lights sometime between March and June 2017.

Wow everyone has panameras now! Good to see it's becoming more common, definitely one of my favorite headlight mods. I sure wish switchbacks were more readily available when I did mine..

I could do without the halo in back of the shroud. And while the color shifting is certainly pretty, it's only for show-mode. No way no how could you drive around like a xmas tree without getting stopped. You know, getting my headlights painted keeps dropping further and further down my list of mod priorities. However, it is still on the list. And seeing Sean go all in on his sure doesn't make it easy.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

Same here, although if I were to get custom headlights I wouldn't get anything crazy. I really only want to swap out the projector lenses for something sharper with more color and get rid of the chrome.

I do like that they offer more options for the sedan housings tho +1
If you have Instagram you can look them up on Go2Customs. Honestly from the little I spoke with OneEighty i didn't appreciate their lack of communication, and interest to gain my business when asking questions regarding pricing and their own professional opinion. Go2Customs is a small business which was created by 2 guys from a local car group in NYC which began working on their own headlights out of one of their homes. Their business has been doing great and have even opened up their own small shop, which is scheduled to expand by quarter 1 of 2017.

With Go2Customs I received constant updates on the progress, including pictures, videos, and even suggestions during the build process, which to me was a great consideration to a customer that just drops off or ships them their headlights. OneEighty does no do this they simple ask what do you want, you sign a document and you'll see your headlights once they have been completed.

Lightwerks seem to do great work as well and from what I've heard from my cousin who did his lights with them.

It was more of a support local small business decision for me. All of their pricing and warranty were relatively the same on their headlight work.

I'm not a fan of the halos either which is why I opted for the panamera shroud.

Awesome!! 🙌ðŸ¼🙌🼠Yessir! Those tails were one of the first things I replaced when I got the car and have been very satisfied with how they came out.

I'm know it's just lighting bling... fancy DRL's. And in that context, they're very attractive. And they do their job well, which is to get traffic in front of you to be aware that you're there. But even if they came OEM with halos, every time I see a car with halos that isn't a BMW, , my very first thought is, "That's not a BMW."

I used to think the same thing when I first purchased my G in 2015 about halos and the car not being a BMW. I've done a complete 180(lol) on that and I'm most likely going to end up with quad halos when I do my headlights next year. As long as they don't look tacky, who cares? All cars draw design elements from each other.

Hahahahahaha. I thought I was the ONLY person that thought this way. 🙌ðŸ¼
