I notice a lot of people in my area (Los Angeles) have their orange reflector on their 3gs and their 2is. It looks clean and gives it a better look. This is a lot better option than opening the headlights themselves. My question is, how is it done? Tape and smoke taillight spray? Anybody have a a step by step DIY?

What I've seen is people use a dark tint film and cover as much of it as they can on the headlight lens itself. Its a better alternative then opening a headlight.

No DIY for opening a headlight and doing the work yet, but someone will probably do it soon. I am thinking about buying a set of headlights and doing it, BUT not for my car. Its something I can live with. I would like to help someone do it, after all its simple to do.

I smoked mines with the clear bra material Aerotect sells while i was getting my full hood, fenders, bumper, fogs, and lights done.

Seize it does look very good. I had a couple that drives a 07 GS350 and asked me if that's how it comes from factory on the 08 models

Imma go back to aerotect and redo it to a lighter shade smoke. Right now is a tad too dark.

I would go to a tint shop and have them put some 5% on top of it. Or maybe double 5%.

I am holding myself back on this as I want my car to look as stock as possible... .for now

Hmm, this would look really good on the black GS

Godfather, they are not overlapping or on top of each other That's why i recommend francisco at aerotect. He does a superb job on installations!!

I had Francisco do my E55 when it was at DTM Autobody a couple of years ago... awesome job! I gotta get my front end done ASAP!

So using dark tint is the best eh? Too bad they don't sell small pieces.

Im not impressed . It looks odd imo, and its cop bait. Especially the robotic cops in LA they will nail you for little things like this. Not a big fine, just a fix it ticket.

i have had experience before opening up headlights and retro fitting projectors but im worried about opening up these lights since they arent cheap if you screw up.
