Some help needed with front lip and headlights
If anyone could help, send some links or something. Trying to find a front lip for my 05 black coupe. Looked everywhere cant find a good one and don't trust ebay that much. Not looking to spend over 200 bucks either. And with headlights i want to keep the ones i have but would love to take the amber out of it and make it clear inside not sure how hard it is or where u can get the clear bulb?
Trust ebay. Unless I'm extremely misinformed, aren't most front lips over 200? if you want to find under you'd prob have to use craigslist and shop around. search the forums for how to remove the amber light, the bulb itself is white.
I mean everything on ebay is around 100 bucks or so which is not bad. Just hate for it to look terrible and then i cant return it or something but i guess thats the chance ill have to take. Any idea where to buy the white bulb? Thanks
ebay has policies in place to protect you if the item isn't as described. just read the description extremely carefully, and if the item isn't as it's described you get your money back. the bulb is actually white, you have to bake open your headlights, which is a process in of itself, then you can take out the amber light filter, but i'm not sure how hard that is, look for a DIY for baking headlights, and a DIY for removing the amber filter.
On the 05 headlights, you have to bake the headlight open and dremel the amber off the lens. From my understanding, there's no other way around it and it's quite a tedious, precise process.. That's why I just purchased 06 projectors and switchback LED lights
is it easy to remove the amber filter on 06 projectors? i just bought mine and kinda want to. where did you put the LEDs? pictures?

The 06 projectors have clear lenses so no dremel-ing is needed. I just ordered everything last night so I don't have pics yet. The LEDs will go where the blinker is. With the switchback LEDs (and a 7440 socket conversion from the 05 headlights), the lights will shine white when on, then switch to amber whenever you have the blinker on, the back to white when the blinker goes off. It's cool stuff, you should look into it.
Baking the lights doesn't seem like too big of a hassle IMO. Plus, once you get those things open, the possibilities are endless. I'm going to keep it simple and just spraypaint the inner housing black. I ordered the projectors off ebay. Just search 'g35 oem projectors'- they're about $515. I got the 60 SMT switchback LEDs from ijdmtoy.com
