Nice look!!! I like the way it's not overly done yet still being custom.

they look good, gurl *thumbs up*
Thanks! I actually had to remove the lights and send them to Advanced Automotive Concepts, a company that specializes in LED and CCFL lighting. I got them back fully assembled in just under a week, though. I really like the G37 dual-ringed tail lights as well. I might have to look into that...

Really? How much do you charge?

--------------------------------

Here's some crappy cell phone pics I took with the new grille installed:






I really wish I could get some better shots of the rings, but the light they emit just over-saturates the pitcha'.

Turnaround time from the day I shipped was just over a week. I was really impressed - I sent the lights out priority, they had them for 2, 3 days at the max, and shipped 'em back.

Anyone know where to buy good custom headlights without having to ship your lights?

My car is a DD and I wouldn't be able to go without headlights for a week...

Only question I'd have is could you link to the lights you purchased? I found the halo's on AAC's site (oracle ones) but they are for the projectors and the low beams only. I don't see a kit for the signals.

thank you for this solution!
i want to do halos on my sedan but have concerns about the lifespan of the CCFL halos and i also dont think it would be as bright as LEDs
the closest solution i had found was 180 customs ironman LEDs, which currently arent available for my year and im not the biggest fan of them because i want the whole circle
but here we go, this is what i want!

no diy since you need hundreds of dollars in equipment and experience to make them . They are not bought they are custom etched pcbs with reflowed leds .

Sorry, didn't see these posts 'til now!

@DogStar: There actually isn't a link on AAC's website to purchase these...I originally intended to buy the CCFL's, but when I inquired about LED's they offered to install LED Halo's as a customized option. They said they've never done it on a G35 before so they'd give it a try and see how it turned out. If you haven't already altered your headlights, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to work with you on those LED Halo's if you so inquired.

@R3diK3r0u5: Yeah, you're right about the CCFL's...depending on the brand and installation, they can detract from the lines of the headlights (not that they all do), and aren't nearly as bright/don't have the lifespan of LED's.

@the04coupe: Those are awesome. Have you had any issues at all with them? And how did you wire them - to your parking lights?

They were for a customers car but no issues . They all run to my voltage regulator boards then voltage regulator tapped to the clarance strip + and - with quick disconnect wiring .
