Stoof, if you got these made I'd have the headlights modded the next day.

I have been waiting on these since I got the car as well. I would've thought someone would have jumped on this from day 1, seeing as how G35's have the clearcorners. Clear strips is going to look super clean.

Are the bulbs for the strips available, on the market, chrome dipped?

Chromed turn signals are the easy part. Even Walmart sells those. Granted you have to find the right part number and some are more chrome than others.

But here is the ones I switch out on my truck. Not a great picture, the bulbs look better in person and not purple.
