Mine is the JDM headlamp with the clear covers and the black is high-temp paint i used to black the interior of the housing. The covers didn't cost me anything as they were a prototype at that time. I do know that they cost 180 or so for a set.

You can do that. I've seen some people paint the interior housing of the US headlamp and it's not that bad, however it's not that noticeable. It will have a tinted look to your headlamps.

When oyu heat your headlamps (oven temp 250 for about 3-5 minutes) take it out and use a flat knife or screwdriver to pry open the headlamp cover. Be careful not to force it too much because you will end up cracking the cover and if you do then you are screwed. If the silicone becomes too hard, place back into the oven for another 2 minutes and pry again. Continue this process until your remove the cover. Make sure when you remove it that you remove the covey with the backside of the headlamp facing up (in other words the cover will be closer to the ground). This will ensure that the silicone will not stretch and stick onto the housing of the headlamps. Next, tape up the housing (parts you don't want sprayed) and use a high temp spray paint (dull coat if popssible) and spray 3 or so layers. Finally, use a high temp clear coat (2 coats), this will smooth out the previous layer and give it a slight gloss coat.
Now get some black silicone and inject it around the headlamp, and re-seal the cover or re-heat the headlamp so the silicone is soft and re-attached the cover. Test for leaks and you are done...now re-peat on the other side. Hope this helps.

how come h2fparts.com isn't selling the lenses anymore? would this be the same way to get the clear lenses on to the assembly or do you guys sell it already pre-assembled?

I'll post up a write-up within the next 2 weeks. I'm retrofitting HID projectors, Ballasts, and burners into my zenki, as well as sanding down the "fluting" on the stock lenses and polishing them up.

does anyone know the bulb type that goes into the r32 projector? I think it is an H1 but i can't find the connector so you can convert it into a H4 with 3 prongs instead of one.

I remember seeing this thread a long time ago and tracking down the Japanese connection, as a matter of fact they are FinalKonnexion. The housing are really nice but etremely costly for a DIY kit. You basically have to take apart your lamp housing and repalce it with their clear lense ($450). PhaseIIMotorsport is marketing them here.

Don't know if they have them in stock or if they order them from japan. Let me know if you find something like this somewhere else.
