Here's the deal guys. I will be taking care of the lenses from here on out. I made an agreement with this company to produce the lenses and am just awaiting Coomer's approval. Be on the lookout for a gb/fs thread here relatively soon. Also, I think the prices are going to make you guys happy. smile.gif

by the way, i never really had a chance to compliment those projectors you made a while back, since i wasn't around... they're hot sex. =)

that how to should help out a lot... i can't wait to jump into this.

And thanks smile.gif I love my projectors. Provided this goes well I will be providing a detailed write up on how to make your stock highs look like JDM's. and your stock lows look a lot more appealing smile.gif

yes... i will be doing both the highs and the lows... the only thing is.. I will be personally testing a set of these before selling to make the light situation known and how much it affects the output

Wow, I thought they would be much less expensive, $700 to $800 is still rediculous for headlights. I mean, we need to get somebody to mass produce projectors, I thought this guy could since he seems to have such a huge customer base. Even if we had to wait few months for headlights, he'd still make his money on them because there are people here who would buy them, including myself. Even if they fit perfect, JDM lights are still illegal here. If we could find a nice, mass producer to do the lights for like $300-$400 that would be awesome. We need taillights too, because not everyone can do a Supra conversion or get the limited and not very attractive "custom" taillights that are out there.

Can someone call this guy and ask if he can do taillights? I would imagine those would be somewhat easier, since no projectors would need to be fitted. He does good work, and we need custom taillights.

Also, with these clear lenses, is that just for taking the glass stock ones off and putting the clear ones on, for a euro look with oem fitment? How do you get them off?

settle down there man. Use the search button, it can be a great help. Also, there's a parts database on the home page to look at many parts. Part of doing up a car is finding your own style and what you like. The 5s can hold up pretty well. Check out build threads from "pressure2" There are also specific forums for each aspect of the car. Take a little bit and check out these areas. Again, use the search button, it's a GREAT help! Welcome to the boards!

No one will mass produce lights for our cars, because there's not a MASS market... Josh won't bring his pricing down much. I would actually anticipate the tails to be just as much if not more money because this is a relatively new area for him making things and there's more creativity and time involved, potentially. As for lenses, I'll provide a full write up

Perhaps we should attempt to gauge possible interest/market for tail lights. While we obviously can't produce a tail light that will appeal to everyone we can attempt to work out the maximum market size.

For the moment assume that the tail light is exactly what you've always wanted and the price is the same as a brand new pair of standard tail lights from Toyota. Please add your name to the list if you would be likely to buy a set in the next year. You aren't actually committing yorself - this is just to gauge interest.

I'll get the ball rolling:
