Still very tempting to try but I don't know if it would be overkill on a black car. I'd go red where you've gone green though.
What do you think Rob ? Too much Black ?

Well, headlight conversion complete :)

TSX-R clear lenses installed also, Wasnt as easy as planned, they are slightly thinner in the mounting position, Silicone fixed that.....well hopefully time will tell

Ill have to adjust the lights when its dark, but they look a whole lot clearer and a very sharp cutoff beam.

You can also see the green when you look into the lenses

anyways here is some pics

looks great, I was really curious what the green would look like. Looks good with the silver. The blacking out is really nice too. Now black out the tail lights :!:

tail lights could be the next project, they dont come apart as easily..will have to crack out the Dremel for that.

They looked strange to start with, but i like it. Will look much better with the eyelids back on also

Bit of tint film on the foglights? Maybe tint film on the rear lights?

Illegal I think.

Regie. Brilliant work. I've been thinking about something like this as I have the ugly early model dull silver surrounds (as seen in your first shot). Was looking at geniune chrome ones from mxparts.co.uk but soooo expensive.

Pretty well everything regarding modifying lights are illegal.
