Cool. I'll check it out later. I did a Quad projector mod on my headlights over the summer so I know how much work goes into that stuff. Here is the link to mine if you feel like checking them out.

I'm probably going to post a DIY for customizing your own headlights/clear corners but not tonight. I'm missing a few pictures, that i need to take to make a good DIY.

Its all really simple, its just a matter of whether or not you have the ***** to stick your headlights in the oven, and pull them apart. once there apart, spray painting is easy, biggest task was dremeling out the amber lens, after that, just sand and spray, install some led strips in the clearance and wire them to the blinker/clearance lights. Maybe ill write a DIY when i have all the pictures i need to do so.

Clear corners are easy, if you have a dremel. Even if you have a drill, just have to be careful you dont push to hard and drill the face of the clearcorner. Once you have the 2 holes drilled, you need the LEDs. I used 4 chip luxon LEDs (super bright!) and ran a wire that i spliced to the blinker in the headlight housing. The blinker has 3 wires going to it. red green and black. black is obviously ground, and the red is the power (constant), and green is the blinker power. So i spliced the green and the black and dropped it down to the clearcorners. then i wired the red to the green and the black to the black. The end.

P.S. If you drill your clearcorners make sure you drill close to main socket. I drilled to close to the snaps that hold the clearcorner in place and ended up having to dremel out part of the bumper to make room for the led.

Id write up a DIY but im just too lazy to write this whole thing up. Someone wants to send me there headlights and clearcorners, ill do it all for 400. paint housing, leds in clearance, remove amber and add leds to the clearcorners. Takes 1 day to do.
