Default SC Front Lighting - "A Correct Way to Do Them"!

Hello CL and especially SC Members!

I promised that upon completion of my front lighting from Organized Garage Status, (OG Status), I would post up pics and a thread on them. Well, the not so long awaited time frame is almost over... I say that as a friendly teaser because OG Status has informed me that they are completed. I have not seen the latest high res pics as they and a video are currently being created by OG Status for posting to this thread! I should receive them tonight and I will post them up.

A couple of points to make:
  • I titled this thread - "A Correct Way to Do Them", not the only way to do them.
  • They are indeed completely custom...My original Low beams were falling apart, so I sent them to OG Status to repair them. There was too much damage for various reasons, so they started from scratch and totally rebuilt them in the spirit of my original design, but corrected the flaws and built them much better so they should not ever break down...BTW, these are my design, so they agreed to never copy my design for another customer, in case you were wanting a set . However, I am sure he can make other versions that you would like if any of you want him to work on a custom set...
  • The new OEM low beams are also greatly improved...OGS shortened the amber reflector to make it more symmetrical with the light. They swapped out the mini projector I was using for a better quality one. They added an LED to light up that projector. They added the Switchback DRL LED which I always wanted but could not get done previously, and they replaced my Supermades with new clear lenses coated and protected not to crack or fade or become opaque from sunlight. They also swapped out the Audi TT HID projectors for Acura TSX HID Projectors.
  • The high beams are custom made using the OEM lights and housings, but made with a greatly improved projector lens swapped in with a custom inner shroud. The lens is also crystal cleared and coated the same way as the low beams. Also, the high beams are made into White Demon Eyes!
  • Most of all, the fogs are the first of their kind as well...They are the stock, OEM Fogs, with an HID projector and bulb, with a custom built inner shroud and a crystal clear, custom, hand made clear lens cover, coated with the same protectant as the rest of my lights!
  • All lights are fully wired, and plug-n-play. I don't have to do any special wiring to make them work!!
Pics and videos are coming!! Tonight!!

I'm so happy to come back to these forums after such a long hiatus and see the completion of such projects that began years ago...it was well worth the wait!
these headlight/foglights look absolutely breathtaking!! I wish these were an option at the time that I was looking for a revised front lighting package..well,I'm glad someone did it right.. kudos to the hard and patient work Ryan!
setting the example once again...

The lights have shipped! I should receive them this Monday. So once I get them all on the car, I will clean it up and start the pics thread...Right after light installation, the car goes to tuning. Then the CF pieces get made. First new show: The Cars for the Cure: http://www.carsforthecure.com/.

It will be great to get it back out on the rod again.
