haha jk i know you guys are busy

But yeah that cut off is alot cleaner than I thought it would be, im really stoked to get my lights back

When I get them back i will definately post up pictures so everyone can see another example of your work.

Yes, Josh is very busy thats why I retro your headlight to help him out; to catch on.
Another thing your FX 35 projectors not only have the OEM clear projector lens, but I also color modded the cut off, blue instead of yellow.

Its sounds like fun, but at the moment I can't start another group buy. I have my schedules full with school, part-time job, and a group buy. After Christmas I can probably start a group buy.

Would the GB be for camrys too? If you get one going i'd like to get it on it. the clear cover is awesome. If I was going to use the abs shroud though I would need to get the center part chrome still right? or could I use black even though I would keep my factory lights? Can you do turn signals too? Just wondering. How much are you talking for the cover? You said $65 for the shroud.

I have a group buy going on, on TT forum. For 97-98 camry clear headlight lens

Yes, you don't have to have the center chrome. It's up to you how you like it. As for corner lights I don't have a mold made for it. So at this moment I can't make one.

Someone stated using two projectors high and low beams. Don't the 97-99 camries just have one since the bulb does the function of both?

For what kind of model are you guys talking about?^^^

I'm still waiting for Mr_Chunkz bezel to cure the chrome (can't wait till they are done). After his headlight are done I'll post them and I'll let you guys know if I'm ready to take some more retros.

I used clear acrylic, a well know name for acrylic is Plexi-glass.

This is very impressive.
I have one concern. The heat of the light and after only a couple of months , plexiglass will be prone to yellowing and it will become very brittle.
I suggest you change to Lexan. Its more expensive, but a far stronger material.
