    I have been wanting to upgrade my headlights for quite some time but I have always been afraid that I would mess something up in the process of taking it apart and modifying the headlights. I found these when I was on Instagram and I was sold, preassembled blacked out headlights with projectors and LED accents. Really unique look and the best part is that I wouldn’t have to do any modifications myself besides installing them. Luckily they are not too pricey, I was expecting to spend close to a grand when I was initially shopping for retros and that’s what turned me away from them.

    When I checked out there site I found that they were local and we got to chatting about potentially having them help me with the install if I pulled the trigger. They said they could help me out (grateful considering I have no idea how to remove them and didn’t want to mess with the electrical work ) and we got to it. I didn’t do the install, I let the pros work on it, but it seemed fairly straight forward.

    I'm really pumped about them, I have never had projectors on any of my vehicles but was blown away by the output of the lights and the sharp cutoff. All in all I’m really happy with them and it really fits the theme of my truck a lot better with the blacked out headlights (now I just need to get rid of all the chrome!)

    Erick is the guy who helped me out, cool dude, owns a sweet FJ. I told him a little about the forums and he said that they potentially could do a group buy if enough people were interested. If anyone is interested let me know and I will reach out to him or you can just email him directly at eg@uniquestyleracing.com.


    You can check the headlights out here.

    Group Buy Details​
    Just heard from Erick, and got the terms of the group buy deal:
    5 Headlight sets: 12% OFF
    10 Headlight sets: 15% OFF

    Once we hit 5 sets Erick also said he will toss in a pair of LED license plate bulbs in the order for free.

    Once mark has been hit Erick will provide a coupon code for these values, these codes are good for one order (meaning anything you purchase in that order will have this discounted rate), so if your wanting some tails too you can get those with the same discount rate.

    I need too. I haven't had my nice camera handy the past couple days, and without it everything just looks really washed out with all of the light. I will get some soon and update everyone :thumbsup:

    Gotta black out them lights sometime Chad! I think im going to get the blacked out tails soon too.

    Erick said he would set up a GB if there was interest, so hopefully we get some people to rally up and we could get some discounts :militarypress:
