I am surprised that people are not as excited as I am. This was specifically designed for us and this group to be available for order at the end of the month. They tested my car for RGBW boards, but those boards were not a perfect fit so they had to reshape the board. More photos and info to come

Oh I'm excited and glad to see a mod like this! But I'm not looking forward to bumper removal to get to the headlights... Then prying apart the housings.

Maybe I'll get a second set of lights n just convert to the OEM LEDs? Hmmm

You can buy the boards and have a reputable shop do the work. Tons of 7 gen guys do custom work. Hit up Ghozt and see if he would entertain working on the 8 gen headlight. Join the FB group for 8genmaxima. Lots of guys on FB do custom work for HLs. I've popped a few housings open before, but nothing like this yet. I was fortunate to get a great opportunity. The video speaks for itself as far as the how-to. If you're crafty with a wrench and capable to pull off the bumper without damaging it, it shouldn't be too difficult. Everything you need is in the video. Tah-Da!

Those are pretty awesome and looks like an install that's not terribly challenging

Beautiful, but I wonder why I don't see as many as chips on their boards.

I'm wondering WHAT was specifically designed and would be available for order? I am always looking for something different Did I miss a detail post somewhere else?


Thanks
