Custom Headlights by Daedalus Customs
 
16 Attachment(s)
Just got my headlights back from Daedalus Customs and I absolutely love the new look of the car. The change in the looks of the front of the car are awesome. I was very impressed with the service that Daedalus provided and the finished product.

As far as what I got done, I had the housings painted a satin black gloss, the projector and projector shrouds painted a gun metallic, they added the LED halos and replaced the blinker bulb to a stealth bulb (removed the amber bulb). Eventually I am going to make a few other bulb changes but for the time being I love the way the headlights look. Looking at the before and after is pretty sweet.

looks great! :tup:

Did you go with the dual leds?

P.S. - night time shots!

NismoZ70 08-26-2013 11:20 AM

I did go with the dual LED's. I'll try to take some nighttime pics tonight and post them. Taking the day pics of the halos definitely doesn't do them justice. Definitely not as clear as the lens actually look

Looks awesome. Same exact thing I want to have done except PW on shrouds. Very nice.

Thanks! That would look great. I love that look.

The pricing was awesome too which definitely helped the process. I knew what I wanted and I knew the options of where to get it done but I didn't want to spend tons of money doing it.

Thanks! Just wait until you have yours done. I'm sure it will look awesome once you get them back. It's definitely a mod I would highly recommend.

Your lights look off the charts. I am here in the Chicago Burbs as well. Please PM me with name of vendor and price.

I would like to do the same color scheme with my car. I have a PG and this would look just great.

Thanks.

Haha I'll be taking some very shortly. Waiting for complete darkness here and then I'll bring the car outside to take some pics :)

So night time pics are near impossible with these halos. Because of how bright and I mean very bright that these halos are all the light just blends together in a photo. I only had the halos on but it just creates so much light that they are unable to be distinguished in a pic. In slight darkness such as a parking garage or during the day you can see them but in total darkness it will not work :(

Very nicely done

zefaulter 08-27-2013 10:35 PM

Thanks for the pm and the photo! Car looks great man. I may have to do this myself.

NINJA 08-27-2013 11:56 PM

Damn that looks good. Now where did I leave that spare $$$?

NismoZ70 08-28-2013 08:30 AM

As far as exterior mods go, at least for my car, I think customizing the headlights will make the biggest difference as far as the looks of the car. I don't plan on changing my wheels any time soon so really this for me is the biggest change that will be seen. I did a couple other minor things to the exterior like tinting the car, plasti dipping the emblems black and I added Nismo Carbon B pillar garnishes but thats it. Everyone that has seen the car in person before and after the headlight change couldn't believe the difference so as I said I would highly recommend doing this. You'll be glad you did :)

God-Speed 08-28-2013 12:09 PM

Very nice. Looking good!!!!:tup:

Keep a lookout at the paint right under your new turn signal lens. After a while, it'll start burning there, it's only a matter of time

I have heard that before so it was actually a concern before I had my lights done. However, my car is rarely in direct sunlight for long periods of time. I park in a garage all day during the work day and by the time I leave each night the sun is pretty well down. Also park in the garage at home. The only true sunlight that would be on the car that could be magnified from the lens would be for like a half hour on my drive to and from home. I was warned about this from Daedalus Customs before I had my lights customized and then mentioned the potential issue that could occur because of the lens being modified. As a result I've tried to be even more careful with this as best as I can :)

Where in IL is this located?

Do you mean from where I actually got my headlights customized? The location of the shop is actually in Maryland. I had to take my headlights out and ship them to Daedalus.

cujo 09-11-2013 08:47 PM

That looks really nice. Can you be kind and PM me as well? I'm in California though. Not sure if they can accommodate out of state folks.

Thanks man! They do accommodate out if state folks as I am in IL and they're in MD. You just need to be able to take them out and ship them to Daedalus. I sent you a PM with further information.
