Headlight Mods + Vinly Overlay on Amber Strip

I am installing these today =) pics soon!!

-Amber Reflector Strip Overlay - Removing headlight enclosure and apply 20% Oracle Overlay Vinyl to only the Amber reflector strip, this way it will look more OEM, and the cops won't hassle as much since when the Parking Lights are on the amber will illuminate slightly. Hopefully the amber reflector will still illuminate when cars shine a light on it

-Headlight HID/LED/Bulb replacements
1) HID Replacement HPA G37 D2S 6000K
2) FOG Bulb Replacement PIAA H1 SparkBlue 8000K
3) Parking Light Replacement (DRL) PIAA 194/168 Super LED White
4) Turn Signal Replacement Stealth Chrome Amber (forgot where I bought this from Autoluminiation?)
5) Reverse LED White AutoLuminiation
6) Vanity Mirror LED Cool White Festoon Ebay



Once I get my GTR 6/10 Tail overlay I will be installing those too.

All my other interior/license plate bulbs have been changed to cool light LED as well.

Hehe, yes i've done those already =) myself, but letting a shop do the rest of the other ones since im afraid of hurting it @_@..

The only thing that won't be LED'd out will be the glove compartment box which I dont care much about..

yea I agree. Too much work for something no one will ever notice. It's also the only one I haven't done.

Great looks really good! Could you point out which photos show show a good representation of the true color for the the parking light and those which shows the fogs and parking lights on together? I cant seem to tell from the pictures, some look blue other look purple and some look white. Thanks

basically the ones in blue, is taken without flash, they do not loook blue at all like that. Im not sure why so many ppl say they do look blue, maybe my hpa 6000k batch i got was more white? As for the purple, that is the fog light that is suppose to be 8000k spark blue, i believe the reason why it's purple and not blue is because there is a yellow reflector on the fog that changes the colour (although im not 100% sure), the piaa super white and hpa 6000k matches perfectly in person, and as you can see in the pics with flash is perfect white.

since i have my, parking lights set when the engine turns on, and the side marker lights when i switch to parking light mode, i'm able to take pics with just the fogs/hids, just the parking lights, etc...

also the amber overlay worked out better than I expected. it looks like it's painted/smoked. If light shines on it it does somewhat reflect as you can see in the pic with the direct flash.. hopefully that small amber illumination will keep the cops happy..
