I'd like to slap vinyls on my black GXE's stock headlights... I'm not gonna fork over $300 for Anzo's at least until next year.

I'd like to do this on the rears as well.

Is there a kit for the front or back of gen 5's? Or might I have to make these myself?

this is vip so i doubt the guy went with vinyl. a better option is gloss black enamel paint - like for car body - open up the lights, mask off what you don't want painted and spray, you won't need more than one coat and it'll last.

what do you want your tails to look like? se?

I'm aware that that car is VIP, but I just wanted to easily communicate the look I'd like to go for despite my inability to dump cash into Anzos or new AE headlights. On the tails I want the circular bulb areas to remain untouched, but I want the borders black.

i know you know it's vip just said i doubt it's vinyl, i don't think vinyl would last especially on the outside. why don't you get se tails, that would give you the look you want without any work and maybe you could find someone to trade you?

Those aren't vinyl cutouts. Those are the stock "raccoon" headlights. The plastic inside the housing is actually black.

Those Raccoon headlights only came on the Touring model of the Q correct? Can you order those OEM from Infiniti still and are they too big for the I30t? They both seem to have the same general shape/curves.
