Default Blacked out housings and DDEs :) (thanks Justin)

this is a test for the first gen came out better then Justin and I both imagined, this is now something he offers. I am going to be getting new headlights and doing it again. It looks freaking amazing.
BMW eat your heart out. (yes car is dirty, and weird reflections are on it)
the high beam reflector is not painted so everything is ok and projects 100% the same.
(anyone that is on SELOC and sees this don't think please, trying to keep a measured ammount of suprise for sat mornings roll in)

looking good i was always curious on how that would look on a 1st gen

on a side note, i think the front would look cleaner w/o the front license plate...seems a bit redundant with the 2 lexus emblems

yes I always thought it was redundant also
I finally took it off today actually and polished up under there
did the grill today, going to have to order a new inner piece and then pay to get the metal part powder coated and done correctly.

I can honestly say they look even better in person! There is no glare like in the pics, really agressive looking. Also the paint looks much cleaner without all the reflections on the lens.

I will start a thread in the vendor section if people are interested in these.

I hope that I'm not too late, I just saw this thread and those lights look great! They are now available for the 1st gen GS and are simply plug and play? My ride is a '95 and I want a set!!! Where, how much, how long to get them back?

Thanks!

if you do this they will look sweet.Takes alot of work.still not done.



IF YOUR GOING TO OPEN THEM AGAIN ,DO THE RETRO TOO.


One has the E65 xenon projector and the bottom has the S2000 xenon projector.
Just soon ideas you can do.

better show me pics that have ALL lines removed and have it crystal clear when you finish up. (I might be interested in paying you to do some for me )
I don't mind the defused lines no big deal as long as they are clean.

I like my stock projectors and high beams just fine with the low beam HID convo.

Lexus dawg, check the vendor section

Bump, are any of you 1st gen guys interested in halos? We did this setup on Eric's car back in the day but have the capabilities to make a much cleaner DIY kit now. If we get 10 people on board we can start production and do some great introductory pricing.
