Thanks! I didn't do any DIY-level documentation, but I've got a few pics from during the process that I'll post here, as well as a few pointers.

I used this post for some inspiration / pointers / visual on the cutoff shield:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...ml#post3983315

I ended up bugging MaQG37 via PM about his process, which helped me a LOT.

I used plastic primer and satin black high temp paint. I didn't paint the chrome strip right near the projector, since that's where the bubbling issue is worst. I ended up painting the side reflector, because my trial with Nite-shadez was disasterous.

I modded the shield to get that nice razor's edge cutoff (as shown in MaQG37's linked above). I added the STI-R lenses, as well. Those required making a few additional spacers out of a cereal box, using the one already in there as a template.

The halos are the 90mm Morimotos found here:

You will need to buy the controller, which gives you the ability to change the colors via remote, change modes, turn on/off, etc. The attachment instructions that come with them are exactly what I used; drill holes on either side and run a wire around it, which gets twisted behind. You can't see it unless you're VERY close, and there is no glue to let go under high-heat conditions. I added JB Weld PlasticWeld to lock the twisted wire behind the shrouds. I drilled through the back of the light housing to run the halo wiring, which I sealed up with more PlasticWeld.
The controller is mounted under the hood on the passenger side, at the top of the fender under the weather stripping. The modules are all zip-tied and HD two-sided taped to various places. There's also a great grounding point right there. The halos are run through a relay that has the trigger wire spliced from the hot on the 12v plug in the console. It gets run through the massive "grommet" at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. This was done because the switched sources in the engine bay are all on computer controlled modules (or something like that), so I didn't want to mess with those.

*** Pro tip: Get a 12v source (I use my R/C battery charger power supply) to power the controller so you can test BEFORE sealing the lights back up!!! ***

And the pics, because... well, yay pics!

I searched for 7 months in the local area for a 4dr 6MT (for when I have kids on weekends) with less than 10k miles per year average on the ODO. Found a 2009 silver one in January with 46k. I bought it wishing it were white and 2010+.


kept browsing Craigslist and found this one with 26k miles. I lost my *** on the deal but this white one literally leaves me wanting nothing. perfect color, trim, year (last of the 6MTs so maybe a collector one day! LOL), and only 8k miles per year average.


Having test driven the Xs sedan with paddles and the 6MT coupe I knew it would be worth waiting to find the perfect one and it was. They're still out there!

That's pretty interesting. Left-side, right-side consideration?
