PMs responded to - please understand I am not taking orders quite yet, I want to put out a test batch first to make sure many of these options are possible, and how quality the work can be. I don't want to sell anything other than a top notch product. List so far:

1. Chacha (high and lows: White chrome (white to match super white car color) to reflect lights better, clear lens, halo turns signal and park light capable, angel eyes on projectors like the bmw/mercedes with adjustable lighting technology projectors); [high minus turns] give me a quote anyways....
2. mgnt32
3. Yellowchinaman (Adjustable, blacked out, clear lenses, halo turns, projector) [Low beams all, high beams minus turns and projector]
4. 2bcelica
5. Jumpiin (Projectors, low beams)
6. zonz450 (Projectors, low beams)
7. MGCustoms325
8. CelicaRacer97 (Clear lenes/blackout lenses, undecided)

I know. I'm anxious myself, but money's going to be tight for a little bit - My exhaust went and I'm having a whole new system installed. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on our progress as we run through the test batch.

Nope I have a set - one of them is broken actually and two of the four are dull, which gave me the idea to do this.

My suggestion for doing projector retrofits in the low beams is this: You will have to make clear lenses, correct? Closely examine the JDM projectors and notice that they have the amber parking lot on each side, hidden behind some diffusers. My suggestion is to smoke the edges of your clear lenses so as to hide the corners of the lights, similar to the JDM lenses. Otherwise you see inside too much of the headlight and it doesn't look right.

@Richee: I'll look into it definitely. I won't be customizing JDM projectors until we really get the hang of it, so clear lenses with the US headlights - much like someone else had here, I think RoyO or Wolfie? But I'm thinking all accent bulbs would be LED anyway and would stay mostly hidden because the white wouldn't make a reflection.

Yes, direct bolt on - if you choose projectors they'll need whatever type of bulb goes in the projectors...although I assume it wouldn't really matter since they just focus light. I'll look into it once things get going.

Good ideas, & good luck!!

So since I don't know a thing about how lenses are done, please overlook the duuuhhh factor of my q's

(1) If someone sends you light assemblies with cracked // broken lenses, { but housings are good } is your service able to replace the lenses & return them? Or am I too far off what you are doing?
(2) Would you have the assembles already, & assemble them as they are ordered?
(3) How would someone know if the assemblies are good enough for you to re-use as a core?

Reason I ask is maybe there are quite a few who would like just stock U.S. DOT lenses, or clears to replace cracked // busted lenses, but not wanting HID or projectors..??..

Also, just wondering--
how difficult would it be to have a Celica dragon etched onto clear lenses?
( edit )
Or 6gc etched on clear lenses, same design as the stickers?

To answer all your questions:

1- As long as the housing is good, there'll be no problem.
2- Either we would charge you a core charge for a brand new set of headlights, or you ship us ours at your cost, and we ship them back at our cost.
3- Pictures would suffice for use as gauging whether or not they're good enough. If the pictures don't tell the whole story then we'll ship them back and refund your shipping charge.

Celica Dragon/6GC Lens - It would all be hand carved dremel work as that's the only tool I could think of using to etch into glass - plus, it came with a glass etching bit tongue.gif

Update for everyone, I'm having trouble finding an exhaust shop to setup my exhaust, but once that's all said and done, we'll begin working on these.
