I have a second set of headlights I am about to modify (they are missing a tab on each but nothing that affects them). Here is my current setup/previous work.
I was planning to mod these and sell them as there is so much demand. I paid 600 for the lights alone - so the pricing would be 800-900 depending on what is installed/work done to them.
Halo's are easy - I'd just need to get the measurements and reliable Halo's aren't cheap. I also did GTR Tails but the COB halo's vendor I have been working with have had issues with them burning out so production of GTR Dual Halo tails are being halted until the new Halo's they have in production come out.
Lessons from this set: Cannot paint gloss black as the reflectors will melt the paint off in one single spot on each headlight. I'd have to do high heat paint next time and have a Matte finish.

Which headlights are you selling? Your old ones or the new ones you haven't modified yet? How many custom headlight or tail light projects do you have under your belt?
Those GTR tails look awesome. I would want a set of those for sure.

BTW, I'm wondering , did you also do the same exact color for the eyelids as on my headlights or just similar type of orange ?

Thats what I meant to say Mik3G37S! The paint is bubbling because the sun is focused from the lens directly on one spot of each reflector (riveted part) I may try high temp paint next time though, I feel as if it won't bubble if I use something like VHT on it instead of Krylon fusion.
LOL, I got the idea from One-Eighty and found some Lambo orange Vinyl and just custom cut a strip to adhere to the light. I loved the black and orange combo. Thinking of doing my accession brakes the same color.
@OP - I am going to sell the pair I haven't modified yet. I have them baked open right now and sitting here ready to have some work done to them, just haven't found the time. I take my time with my headlight mods to make sure the paint and gasses dry and test everything before I seal them back up. I don't trust those one day turn around $200 headlight painting guys even though they probably get the job done.
I'll PM you if you are still looking in the future when I finish the 2nd set here. I won't go as crazy as I did with these ones but definitely will do clear lens and black paint. Anything extra I'd put out a feeler thread at that point before I drop the money to mod them further.
As far as the tail lights go I have halted production until the vendor comes out with more reliable LED rings. For now I got ones that look busted at idle brightness but when I hit the brakes they light up fully (weird I know) something wrong with the power modiule or solder points not sure.

My only concern would be R&D. OnEighty has plenty under their belts. Your lights look really nice, but you ran into a problem that hasn't been confirmed to be corrected. I'd be more apt to buy a set of their Head Lights for that reason alone even if it were more expensive. However, if you get those tails going I'd be game.

Totally understandable - Headlights are tough as it depends what environment that are going to be in. Mines a minimal problem that I am completely okay with - just a note to remember for my next set. Might just keep them chrome and do the reflectors and halos to keep them even more simple this time.
Tail lights I will let you know asap as I have a pair on hand ready for mods - waiting on Diode Dynamics new LED rings to be released. Supposedly they are made in the US and completely redesigned as they had several warranty returns for them.

Alex says it's only with the damn sedan headlights never the coupes...
Seems like yours aren't the same shade of color at least, yours are lambo orange mine are lighter, an Audi color(won't disclose which one).
Please don't match the bbk with those just dont lol
BTW there already is a white sedan with black headlights with dual evil iron mans and orange eyelids and orange bbk somewhere out there, I saw the guy posting in a few groups lol
Headlights and tails look gorgeous! Really feeling those orange eyelids, can't wait til I start modifying mine!

Upscale, PM me your cell number or email address please.
These just went in mine yesterday
I have the current GTR tails but am experiencing the LEDs burning out. As soon as the new halos are ready I have a guy here local that can get them done for you.

Figures, the sedans get screwed. The paint bubbling is so minimal and in just one particular spot. Can't be seen unless you get up really close and look for it. Doesn't bother me at all and I am pretty picky.
LOL, yes the orange I jacked from a picture I saw on the web. I loved someone else's lights and wanted to recreate as close to exactly that. I was going to take it a step furthur but I didn't want things to be too busy in the headlights as they already are. I think I am just going to paint my BBK black and call it day. Right now I have just the standard silver akebono's ready to be rebuilt and painted (they need some love).
@rexhavoc - any idea when the new halo's will be in? I have been talking with LumenEyez who made the original GTR Halo tails and he's waiting on Diode Dynamics to release them. At that time I plan on rebuilding mine and a 2nd set.

I think I know which part you're talking about and that part was left chrome on mine, yet there's still some minor paint imperfections from the sun that I have lately noticed...
