Ok here's the scoop guys, I am currently working with a vendor out of New Orleans to produce CCFL angel eyes for our headlights. The ones I have installed above were just for fitment testing. I have sent them a headlight and they are now currently designing halos that will follow the shape of our lights. I am seriously considering becoming a vendor for theses guys and doing retrofits for other 6th geners. I am trying to gauge interest from other members as to if they would be intrested in this product. The retrofits will consist of the halos, painted housings, as well as the clear side markers and CCFL lighting behind them. Please let me know if interested. I will try to keep the entire cost under 250.00. Once the new halos arrive I will post pics of the finsihed product.

Im looking to doing this on my maxima .i want to black out the headlights .anybody in the chicago land area or near it that can do this let me know ,and how much
Well I finally decided to take the plung and paint the headlights. I used everybody's favority Krylon Fusion. Took some time masking the lights using an xacto knife but I love the way they came out. I will install them this weekend, then take more pics. I still might add some demon eyes. Trying to convince myslef to spend the 150.00 for them, not to mention I already have a million wires coming out of the lights with the HID fogs as well as the LED switchbacks.

quick question. is the $250 for parts and labor, and also would we be sending our headlights out to be done if so how long approximately would it take. i kno everything is still in the works but just trying to get a better understanding of the pricing as of whats included in it
looks awesome!
quick question:
is that piece of plastic, "prismatic plastic", in place of the amber reflector the same thing u can get at home depot that ppl used for the 97-99 rear tailights to clear out the amber?

I've always wanted to do this to my headlights, but paint them in a color that looks a little like my car's- like some ferraris I've seen. And I'd leave the amber side marker, or it would make them illegal in some states...

Looks good. I am a little standoffish due to the fogging and moisture build up issue. I am interested to see those who have had this mod for a while and if they expreinced any problems over time. I have done this to a Honda and no matter what I tried if the car sat for a while they would fog up.
