STi-R Clear Lens Mod + painted housing
 
Ever since seeing the amazing cutoff my friend (username "paperboy42190" on a bunch of forums) had on his TL-S with the ZKW clear lens, I've always wanted my lights to be like his. This past weekend, I finally had some time and I went up to LA to have him work on my lights, and here are the results!

After:

Not only that the cutoff line is distint, light output is much better! Even with the stock Koito bulbs, they're amazing. I am extremely satisfied with this mod :tup:

Edit: sorry for the bad phone camera pics, but I think the difference is still pretty distint..


Here's a couple pics of my painted housing:

I will post more details and pictures on my build thread later :)

Love it man. I hate the cutoff of the stock lenses. I run TSX projectors in my other car, and I hate coming back to these.

Are the STi-R lenses a direct fit? I might consider them...

Yep- they are.

The light output with these lenses is great- not to mention the different colors they put out based on what angle you're seeing the car. Purple, white, blue, pretty cool.

OP, nice pics :)

How much do these lenses run?

They were $50 from theretrofitsource.com. I think you can buy a slightly cheaper version for $35 as well (it gave me the option to take 15$ off for a cheaper version when I checked out)

What was the price for install. Contact info?

They look sharp, I like them!

Where did you to go to have the lights painted? I need to find a local shop that does it

JollyGoodChap 09-15-2011 01:07 PM

headlights and wheels look good!

akong51 09-15-2011 01:56 PM

What did you use for the amber swoosh...CF wrap?

DIGItonium 09-15-2011 03:56 PM

Welcome to the upgraded lens club! :hello:

The headlight looks really cool, but I'm not too crazy about the mod overall. I'm still getting used to the purple reflection from road signs lol.

Nice! I need somebody to go to my house and do mine.
