Back in November/December, Peter wanted to have his DIY LED kit installed. I took on the task...

Thought I would post up some pics. Peter has the final installed pics, so I'll let him post those up. I forgot to bring my camera when I installed his tails...

I was right behind you on Queens Quay lol

Wow! great job! how hard was it so separate the outter lenses?

I wouldn't characterize separating the outer lenses as "hard" but it was definitely tedious. I'm not new to separating headlights or tail lights but because the NSX tails are so long, you can easily crack the lenses so a lot of care and patience must be taken to ensure there is zero damage, esp scratches or nicks that can be seen.
 
FYI, I'm trying to work out a group buy for all those who want me to perform the install of the LED kits for them. For those who have PM'd me, I'll send you the details and those who are interested feel free to PM me.
