        Cheaper, yes. It comes down to how much you value your time. I've posted the steps on how I make them a few times. On top of the sanding and painting I do, they are clearcoated And buffed by my autobody guy.

          I saw a set when I was in NJ, actually the set I was going to buy until we decided the all red tails looked good on my car. Although now I'm having second thoughts!

            That's funny, I smoked my own headlights too! Except mine look good and it doesn't change the light output.

              I like those so much better than the MHW's! Plus they would look tits on my car! Is there a group buy for these or custom order? Maybe I should just fab them myself. Brewcity11, links to your write up? Thanks

                Thanks to those who offered the kind words. I think Turk's lights look amazing.

                I'm thinking about selling the MHW's in favor of another set of the custom tails.

                                Guten did a good job with the lights but I still prefer MHW's. I don't like the "candy" look to them. They look good on the red car though. You guys should switch lights just for fun.
