06 NISMO Headlights

Just finished my 06 Headlight mod. I ducumented the whole process, so I'll post a more in depth thread later.
I was disappointed when I took the 06 headlights apart that the Clearance light area was obstucted by the bi-zenon reflector housing about 2/3's of the way up inside the headlight assembly where the 03-05 headlights would normally have the clearance light. So the 12" low-voltage florescents I had would not work, so plan "B", LED's...

A quick summary per light...
I painted the light gray triangular anti-reflective piece above the fog light bezel, Diamond Graghite to match my car w/low gloss clear. Added Carbon-Fiber accents & a really Small Nismo enblem inside the clear lens just below the fake Clearance strip...
6000k Philips Hids bulbs,
15 LED's per side including...
9 White LED's following the outsde outline of the top light bezel,
1 White LED in the reflector cone in the fog bezel,
4 White LED's in the turn signal housing
1 15 LED 7440 Amber Turn signal bulb
1 Blue LED in the HID Projector
1 White Strobe (in the 168/194 city light spot)for car shows...
All the LED's come on as Parking lamps...

Great job! Not my taste with the accent lights around the projector. However, your craftsmanship is amazing.

Damn, you've seriously outdone many retro installs out there. I definately like the CF accents. Did you use real CF?

Haha, you're retro was good too but his is very clean. It stands out like E_K's quads retro but just on a different level. It's the first time I've seen '06 projectors dressed up like this so gotta give the guy credit.

I love seeing new ideas, thanks for posting it up.

I'm not sure I get the NISMO part? Cause of the sticker right?

Could you set those LED's to blink with your turn signals if you wanted to?
