Are US and Aus/JDM spec lights the same?
I'm sure you'll need to buy JDM lights as US have different light cutoffs to Australia (LHD vs RHD). You will probably blind oncoming traffic by using USDM lights.

More than likely. Thanks for the thoughts mate!

Still waiting to hear whether they can do a shadow/black chrome...

Didn't want to start a new thread on something so overly worked but I wasn't able to find anything similar. Has anyone done amber LEDs like the old 08 Z?
I was curious to see three options, full amber led strip / bottom 3/4 LEDs / or top 3/4 only led.
Anybody have anything similar?
Thanks

kinda old, but Bonzo, how is the cut off lighting at night? Is is any difference? You wouldn't have any pics of night time shots facing a wall would you?

I'm interested in doing this, but I'm worried that the lighting output will be either dimmer than stock, or crazy illegally bright with poor cut off.

Thanks

He just painted his housings, why would the light output be any different? All the light comes from the projectors which were not modified

Quick question for 180. What's the turn around time on average once you receive a set of headlights?

Makes sense. I thought he also modified the landing strip area at first glance. I'd like to do business with you in the future, and the reason I asked was because I was worried that by modifying anything headlight related, I'll be blinding people like those with drop in HID kits on their civics. NOT something I want to do with my car. Thanks.
