Audi Style headlights and BMW Style LED tail-lights for 1GS???

Does anyone know any companies or manufacturers that will customize headlights and tail-lights for my 1GS? I don't wanna hunt for JDM headlights like most 1GS owners do since I'm seeing most of them with Aristo lights, grill, etc.

Yes for the headlights but like a whole new housing with the clear corners. As for the tail-lights, I want actual LED tail-lights like on the new M-Series. I don't wanna mess anything up since my 1GS is my only car right now. And I need new fog lights since the one on the driver side has a rock chip in it.

I was told JoTech would do it if I took it to Dallas.

JoTech, from my experience, is shady. Blew my friends engine while on a test run and sent him a $7k bill.

I would do it myself if so inclined. Its really not hard and you will save a ton of cash.

That being said, I have never seen it look good on anything but an Audi.

So I'm pretty much better off with a DIY? And where can I get my fogs repaired or replaced? I really wanna keep the USDM look on my car rather than do a full JDM conversion.

Like others have said, DIY is prolly the only option at this point for your car. Good luck!

LED strips in headlights look gay.

Best look IMO for 147:
-bake them
-pull them apart
-shave the lines on the lenses
-clear coat
-put them back together

Hmm I am a fan of leaving halos on bmw's and the leds on the newer cars. Unless you car pull it off , like around the fogs

Thanks guys, I was thinking more of black chrome housing with halos and just getting the JDM tail-lights since the USDM 2-piece look is getting tiring.
