eBay once again has the blacked out 6th Gen lights with the clear corners. So if you have been wanting a set you should move on them as the DOT may once again render them illegal without the amber corner lense.

Anyway I purchased a new set of these lights and used them as the base platform to build from. Had a local car guru build these for me.

The normal bake them at 225 degrees etc. to open them will NOT work with these. They have some type of epoxy sealant attaching the lense to the body, and we ended up cutting them open from the rear with a Dremel to be able to access the insides for modifying.

So we did the "Demon Eyes", Amber "Halo Ring" for a turn signal like the Porsche. Did the "Turbine" projector (kind of looks like a turbo turbine), Had the lense etched with a "Tribal" image, (look at pic. 5 up close, on the light bulbs glass face is the tribal etching). And then finally I had the idea that I loved the newer Mustangs vertical LED strips, so I wanted that copied too. They are the favorite part of the new assembly to me, look sick!. And of course the whole assembly is "Blue Tooth" connected and have an app that lets me choose over 8000 color combinations. Just got the car back this morning from the installer, still learning how to control the colors etc. Over 24 different connections had to be made and soldered into place. Each vertical LED has it's own driver, the Demon Eyes, own drivers, BT controller etc. etc. etc.

I added a photo of the actual Mustang headlight style I wanted to mimic.

I think this was a needed modification to jump up the game a few notches. Autorama compelled me to do this, just wanted some over the top headlight mod. What do you all think, love em, hate em...
Wow..do you still do this with Monte headlights?? Can I pay you to do mine??
