I was tired of seeing tails tinted on the outside, so i decided to get a pair of 08 tails and paint the inside black and tint the red reflectors. also, none washed car.

To my knowledge no one has done this - and the only other one whove ive seen change the inside of 08s was yellowhoodie

^^^^ looks good!

captainlaziness

Pretty sharp, but seems a little orange peel-y.

yeah - i realized after i installed them there was a small leak in the seal which water got into. THAT, on top of me putting them in a low heated oven to get the water out kinda made the finish bumpy in spots. its not terrible or really noticeable but its a bummer.

captainlaziness

Yeah, it's not bad. I just notice things like that. You could always pop 'em back open and do some quick wet sanding.

The reverse light part looks good, the rest doesn't.

It's different, I like it!
I'll post up pix of my new headlights as soon as I get them installed.

are they done?

Aurora

Yes, they are done, FINALLY!!!
Now I just need to install them. I'm either wanting to go HID's or Halogen. I know peeps say HID's...so I'm thinkin', lol.

ya HID's ftw. i just got some and i'll never go back haha

Aurora

Well, I'm kind of thinking. I have the headlight harness for 9006, but the new retro is H11. I could get the adapter for $40 and then get some halogen's for $20....or spend $100 for HID's. I like HID's but if they ever went out, couldn't just pick up a spare bulb from autozone .

But yeah, I wished Operetic was closer so I could get some HID's. I hate ordering things online.

Go HID, there is absolutely no reason to go through all the trouble to do a retro fit just to use halogen. Operatic will get the kit out to you in 1 day, he has overnight shipping.

Wait...you used 09 tC projectors for a retrofit?

Aurora

Sounds good. I posted a reply on the thread so just waiting to hear back.

Yep. Keeping the OEM look, but they have been modified some so not completely stock. They came out looking really good!
