ONEighty, do you prefer to work on brand new lenses instead of having people ship you used ones?

The reason I ask is can you polish lenses to get out scrapes and chips and such, or would it just be easier to order a brand new set for you to play with?

Well we would only put those if you were getting dual Orb LED rings. In which case, I won't charge extra

Wish there was a place to just buy the lenses, but there isn't

So you would need a whole new headlight, which yes we would prefer for the best look. We can polish out the lenses but there is a limit to that, depending on how deep they are. We sell brand new headlight housings/lenses for $1400 btw

Thats both sides, everything necessary to make them look new again?

Is there a discount of ordering a set through you to work on yourselves?

That's both sides, not including ballasts/bulbs/wiring.

PMing now...

Have you done any on the 2013-14 cars?

If so how do the day time running lights look with with the IRON MAN modded headlights? How is the match in light colour and brightness?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've done some but I don't have pics! But I remember them flowing well together, color being about 5000K for both

I had oneighty put an orb in my headlights, the color match from the orb matches the running lights in the front bumper very well. I would definitely recommend it. I can try and post a pic tonight if you would like.

Any iron man?

Weather was finally reasonable enough (for 1 day) to get a couple cell phone shots.

It's the same headlight. Most of our orders are mail in so I don't even get to see the car

cooltoy · 02-03-2014, 05:16 PM

Obviously it's the same headlight. I just was curios how the match is with new daytime running lights. I understand that you don't see often the cars. No problem. on the off-chance you did, it was worth a shot. Thanks you.

any photos of headlights done a 40th Z? i've only seen a few done here, not enough for me to pull the trigger?
