Oh~ Sorry youngstylez didn't know that was your prototype. I definitely push back what I said. Being a prototype is great pratice tho'
As long your final product is good then it's ok.

Not to mention. Waste of money. Hey as long you got a light to light the street ahead of you, it's good enough.

Thanks Young. I was wonderin how a black housing headlight will look on a Camry with chrome grilles. Now, it's off for me to buy the actual SE lights. I'm too lazy to do all that work. Plus, I got some money to waste it on. I already got money saved up for my project car.

Youngstylez: you got HID right? How do they fit btw? They don't touch any parts of the housing do they? That's what I'm worrying about, because the ballast bulbs seems longer.

Hey, I never said I made them. I only design them. Plus, a conversion is not a bodykit.

*you can say its a waste of money.. but i find it saving me more money than wasting.. SE headlights from dealer cost well over $230.00 USD.. and instead of buying them and not liking the look of them on my camry.. i payed close to $100 for both headlights and paint and all the other materials. got those done with no hassle.. tested them on my car.. liked the look.. so i took apart my OEM headlights and worked on those.. DIY saves alot more money than you think..and also gives you the chance to give it your OWN edge to it.. my headlights i got now, its phantom grey to match my car instead of the *black* SE look and the corner orange peice is painted so that a lil peice is showing.

no i do not have HID. not yet. some are being made right now for me with HID Projectors and all. will not be done til Fall
