Clear "modded" JDM headlights and corners. I played around with the angel eye's and never really felt they looked right. They looked good but I'm after better than just good. These are unreal! Worth every penny!The parking leds set them off nice. And of course the 12000k HID's. I also love how Japan puts the little light in the headlight housing. I put a purple led 194 bulb in. Oh yeah, I also love the left kick up. I'm going out at night just to blind people. To bad I'm not down south!

$600 shipped. I love the look of the angel eye's but I didn't want to do the body work and all that. The angel eyes have a look all together different and I do like them. But these are very nice too and oem.

Hefty price! I was hoping you would change your mind so I could say I COMPLETED it first. There hasn't been one that looked good with the appropriate body work yet

That's a GORGEOUS Q.

Jesda won't be there, so I'll have to send him pics.

My thought exactly, that sucker is clean! And the lens are perfect. I feel Drew on our inability to update the pre94's. Nice Jo superruber.

Yeah, Bubba would probably turn around and take you out with a 12 gauge! You would be lucky if the troopers saw you first.

What did Forrest Gump say, "Stupid is as stupid does."?

Shame so many of us have come to revel in it.

Aw, I was just kidding! I was suprised at how they do shoot left. Didn't someone have a fix for this?

Thanks for the positive response hitman. My Q is clean but pics always make her look better. Still I don't think you will be disappointed. She is not quite show but close. Looking forward to meeting some of you. Do we have to register to get a parking spot? Didn't know if nico has special spots or what.

Headlights acually have part of the reflector made to "kick" the light up on one side or the other, depending on which side of the car you drive on, to aid in seeing street signs properly at night.

No matter how you adjust them, they will always kick up on one side....

Guy around the corner from me has a MK IV Supra, and he replaced his headlights with the US ones (Glass lens instead of plastic), now they kick up on the right!

Only way around it ( I think ) is to swap the lenses onto the original headlamp housings.My friend with the supra won't try it though, because he shelled out $800 for his headlamps, and doesn't want to risk breaking them.

It's not that daunting, the lenses just need to be heated evenly to soften the tar that holds them on (immerse them in boiling water, or bake on low heat in the oven)If the lenses are plastic, then I would stick with the boiling water....

I don't think I will bother taking them apart. The kick up isn't that bad plus I really don't get out much at night. I put less than 1k on it a year.One thing I was really pleased with is the lenses are glass. Very heavy.This is the best exterior mod I have done! Thanks again q45vip!
