Doing my own custom headlights

So I picked up a set of 04 headlights from a buddy of mine to play with, since he switched to the 06 projectors. I'm not sure what I want to do with them but I know i'm painting the housings black. I want to a clear signal lense and LEDs down the clearence strip. Any other ideas?

Heres where I started:


And heres where i'm at:

Marc (6spG) said he's working on blacking out his headlights too. May want to see how he is doing it for some ideas.

Yo JON JON, I don't know if U heard about this site, but they have been doing that for a lil' while now, they do pretty good work, but they are pricey as hell

I like how they have the clear side markers to match the color of your car on the inside of the casing plus you can choose if u want single or double functioning leds

Thanks but yea I knew about them and pricey is an under-statement. Haha, i'm trying to stay under the $500 range. I found a few things on ebay to convert to a Q45 LED headlight lense and demon eye lights w/ clear turn lenses.

Yo, go to Katie's myspace page and look in her pictures. She has a sketch of a "2008 G45", G with a M45 front. It looks crazy.

I have almost completed one of them. I just blacked and cleared them out and going to try and sell them soon. The project has been put on hold for a week or two right now.
