I priced out mine for the leds shipped and it was 122 bucks and change. I wouldnt care about going back to stock. And make it more personal when i did it vs the price cant be beat.

A long time ago.. When AAC saw my a copy of this DIY thread posted in the Cosmetics section. I was attacked by them. They said theirs is less $$$ and better made. BS!!!!!!!!!

Doing it yourself is 1000 times better quality then AAC's units. And way less $$$.

They know this and they don't want to lose business so they shot my work down.

Correction: They "tried" to shoot your work down. I like the look you have and if history is any indication you mods will last 10X longer than the other company's products.

Did you make a set Ish? I made a set and installed them in ELA205's car. Unfortunately he was in a car accident and the front ones were busted. I'll have to make another pair for him.

what up J,

Jus saw your post. Yea, I made a set a few months ago after reading this thread. I wanted to get my hands dirty and take a stab at it. They came out pretty bangin tho. Where I kinda effed up was by not heating them up long enough and bending the plastic a lil' too much when taking off the lens. No big deal though, looks clean. =)

How you been? I'm throwing the BMR Lowering Springs on right now.

just an FYI, i used an Exacto miter saw blade to cut mine open, took awhile, but i went slow and didn't start prying until i could tell it was getting loose.
