For everyone that keeps saying make a DIY. There are two threads I believe on how to open them up and paint them. Installing the sti lens requires the removal of two screws and adding the supplied spacer. The ccfl just sits behind the housing and wires up to whatever you want. I dont see the need for the OP to make another DIY thread. Unless its to show how he added different color leds inside the headlight.

No, I posted how much you can do it yourself for a couple pages back. I think materials cost me around 130 or less. I bought the same ccfl rings that lightwerkz uses, and the sti lens from ebay, where everyone gets them, and the paint I picked up at a local store.

^ Nice. Too bad I didnt know that a week ago. The replica lens I used it awesome. The cutoff is beautiful. Driving home the other night with a couple of members from here, they told me the lens produces a very blue/purple output.

First you directly copy text from our website, only to use it on your own home page, and now you are misquoting our pricing?

Is this any of your business?

You posted this today, I would appreciate if you could edit this because you posted it knowing it was false. You know damn right those are wrong because you made a thread earlier, lowering your pricing on the same products by $5, like thats going to make a difference to this community. Your business tactics are down right wrong!

Yes it increases the intensity and makes the color at cutoff purple and blue.


Its a great mod, for a great set of projectors. You guys are lucky.

I love it when people actually know what they're talking about. Wish I could've sent my headlights to you! Damn it!

Now, now.. the sponsorship rules still do apply, so you can't solicit your business here.

Just clearing up some mis-representations by one of your sponsors.

Thats all.

Finally a company that knows how to treat their customers. You should check out that link I posted, they just copied your pricing. They even copied your stil lens package by saying 160 alone, or 100 when installed with another service. Wow...
