Hey, what brand did you use for your ballast? I don't want the TRS ballast as the new version has a ton of problems with them lighting and flickering. Also is that depo headlights? I don't see the Toyota stamp on the lens

Man just read 9 pages of contributions. I really like clos430 custom work and color matching, that is nice. Here is my contribution. custom V2 LED rings with TSX projectors & LED blinkers, wish my covers looked as clean and new as some of you guys have, makes me wanna order new headlights just to get the brand new covers, only so much sanding and buffing can do. I went ahead and painted almost everything satin black and of course got the purple cutoff.
















Did the setup on my e60 as well, have a thing for custom lights
