Love the "iron man". Any chance you could take a picture head on and further back please. I know, I already asked once, but............

Don't worry -- haven't forgotten about ya!! I tried a few times and it's really hard to capture on camera. Once I get my car back from Fast Intentions I'll have to play with the exposure a bit -- sorry for the wait

No worries.

I got the headlights back last night and plugged them in. I will get some better shots once I put the car back together this weekend.

One question, I would like to get some LED parking light bulbs to match the halos. What color are they? 4000 +/-?

The Orb LED rings are 5000K, it's hard even for us to find a perfect match of an LED bulb. Let know when you do and if they match

How much would you charge for a set of these?

XwChriswX · 01-22-2014, 05:06 PM

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.
