OSS Angel Eyes BLACKOUT vs NO Blackout

Hey to those with OSS eyes,

Getting mine installed soon on the M3, am nervous to go blackout due to defeating the stock cleanliness of the headlights.

Can you post up what it looks like with the headlight blackout or without the headlight blackout.

It will be on a WHITE car, which is why I have to ask. On a dark car I would absolutely blackout, but a white car is different.

Looking forward to pictures!! Searching gave me a headache as I had a hard time telling which were blacked out and which weren't unless they were specified!

Car will be here Tuesday, and no I'm not into the black wheels, side grills. I will have black grills installed from the dealer and the black steel M3 plate bracket, and CF front lip but thats about as far as it goes for black stuff.

I'm really trying to get a picture of AW in the daytime with blacked out headlights compared to stock to see if it looks odd or not. I'd prefer the OSS to be OFF in the blacked out picture so I can judge how the headlight assembly looks.

What's up Mike, I always look forward to your sig popping up every time there's an OSS thread.

Like I said, I am picking up the car Tuesday but already have an appt. with AK to do the retrofit in the next week or 2, so I am trying to get info asap because the longer I wait, the longer the lights will take to get shipped to AK.

Do you have any other pics of the M3 in your sig? Are those lights blacked-out or not? Thanks.

I have an Interlagos Blue coupe with gloss black grilles, body color side grilles and dark tinted lens, but I opted not to black out the light and kept the side marker LED as well. You can see it here:





I think blacking out the headlight would make it a little too boy-racer~ish.

OSS Designs • Blackout

Below is Luis' original version of the Blackout. This is for a full stealth "murdered out" look:





The latest Blackout (v2) would be the "reverse blackout". This is more ideal especially for those that are going with the ///OSS PSY24W LED turn signal conversion.

The blackout LED's on that Space Grey M3 look OUT OF THIS WORLD

First mod as soon as my M3 is in service for the first 1,200 mile maintenance so I can take the headlights and ship them out.

@Mike: What's the turnaround time from the day I FedEx overnight the headlights to you guys?

And also, should I just have my tech at BMW remove them and box them up for you guys? I'm in SoCal and don't think you guys have a shop out here.

Finally, what's the warranty on these lights?

(Feel free to PM me if you'd like Mike)

Thanks!

Can anybody explain what the difference is between regular and "reverse" blackout?
