    Yup, that’s how I want my mods..Subtle and can pass for OEM. You can tell something is different about the way the headlights blend in.. it’s just not really apparent.

    Looks great man. I might shell out the $$$ now, seeing the results.

    Here are the LED turn signals I've been using for about a month now; zero issues and bright AF

    Unique style racing sells Depo brand pro headlights for $435 a pair and the quality is excellent. Since used 3rd gen headlights with DRL sell for $400 you lose the chrome for under a 100 bucks...I went this route over the summer totally happy with it.

    That’s cool didn’t know that. In my opinion the problights still have a little too much chrome for me.

    I think $940 for a set if retro headlights with quality projectors is a great price. My current set was much more than that with just a few extras. My set being built now will be double that. You cant beat a quality build with quality light output and cutoffs. I like almost total black and think they look great. :hattip:

    For me the price was easily justified because half of my driving is at night. I was amazed this morning on my drive to work in the dark on the interstate at how bright the lights are. Literally every car that passes me had their light shining on the road washed out and over powered by mine. It was glorious. It use to be the other way around. Was even worse when a Kia would out shine me lol.

    Rx350's have great lighting properties with a good bulb setup. I was also very impressed.

    The only negative to having a tinted windshield is I don’t get to see the rx350 shine in all it’s glory while I drive lol. Other than that the tint is amazing lol
