Thanks! Nope, those are factory housings, lenses, and all internal workings.

have you considered the 05 reverse lights?
thanks boss, yea I did consider the 05 lights but first I wanted to remove the red lines and see how I liked it... It still didn't make me happy so I decided to tint them... That's just getting done so we'll see how I like it and if I'm still not happy I'll be upgrading to the '05 lights.

Appreciate the suggestions guys.

i didn't know OEM headlights had those turn signal-esque moldings/reflectors built into the actual clear lense. I've only seen them on ebay headlights.

Headlights look great, i always go back and forth on whether i want to do them.

Not a huge fan of the doggy door trunk though, but lucky for you i have a solution: I am selling my black (OEM paint) non-doggy trunk. It will come with infiniti emblems and you can use your stock liner/reverse lights. I have it listed in the marketplace but am too lazy to find the link. PM me if interested

this is the next step for me on my 04 coupe....how hard was it for you to separate the lens housing from the inside stuff? I hear it requires putting the whole light in the oven to break the seal...I am very nervous to attempt that.

I love the way the lights look though after you black them out. I tinted my tails, blacked out my grill and side markers and so now the next step is to do the headlights. I have the HID set ups but I think the process is the same.

Nice work

Nice work
It's actually very easy... preheat to 200 degrees, put them in there for 10 minutes, stick the screw driver behind the tabs and pry back slowly. It's really sticky and separates slowly... Make sure you remove the screws holding the lens on before trying to pry it off. Makes it much more difficult if you don't. hahah

headlights look good, i did my turn signals just like that when i had oem headlights. Lose the emblem on the front bumper imo and debadge the I N F I N I T I from the trunk, i removed mine and it doesnt look bad at all underneath like i thought it was gonna look. Also you should paint your reverse lights the same color as your car and make the opening thinner like the 07+ style so you leave just a line untinted small enough not to paint where the bulb goes. Then get 05-06 tail lights
