A larger picture would be nice, but I already know what it looks like I did it to my headlights. You should have took out the orange while you were in there

Can't see the pic since I'm at work, but blacking out the orange lens IMO looks pretty bad. The contrast of the clear is better. If tinting anything, do the whole outer lens or nothing.

1+ for originality...i like them, although smoking the the amber part would flow better. I llke the amber touch though.... keep up the mods.

thanks.
the chrome is blacked out. and i left the orange lens in because evryone takes it out and replaces it with a clear one.
im pretty sure someone on here has done that, but i havent seen it.
i also have to thank another org member "JESS". for doing most of the work. lol. cant take all the credit.

sorry man. but the nismo sticker stays.
its looks better in person.

Lights look good, but I'm gonna second Jason and say "lose the decal." Just because it looks less ricey than a GT-R or SE-R badge doesn't mean it still doesn't look ricey.

Especially since you don't have any Nismo performance parts on the car.

Just IMO, it's your car...

the headlights look good when OFF. When on, the blue looks awful.

Thanks for the props.

You need to get better pics man!
When we're at the Varsity I'll take my good camera and get a few shots for you.

I worked on em just to do the paint, and we did think about tinting the amber signal. I actually have a set of clear malibu lenses here lol, but he wanted something unique.

First thing I said was..."Hey cool, reminds me of halloween!"

In person it does go with the amber side markers like someone else said.

Once again offering services to anyone who wants a headlight mod. PM me for details.

I like how you kept the orange lens in. The Nismo sticker kinda projects you as a guy who is interested in motorsport . But on the other hand it's kinda like a 5series sticking a M5 badge. Anyhow... who cares what I think... whatever that floats your boat is fine with me!

I like the orange lens as well I'm keeping mine completely stock, but I don't like any stickers especially not on the actual paint but it's your car.

I opted to replace the orange lens with the HD Malibu clear.
I agree with others to get rid of the decals.

I just did my headlights and put a clear lens where the amber lens was. I like that people do different things, gives more ideas of what to do. Good job.

The head lights looks good w/ the amber to match w/ the side marker. If you go clear, you gota go all the way.
