Default Custom Headlights


Hey guys I’m in the process of having my headlights retrofitted with led drls and have also had the housing color matched to my car. They should be done in the next couples days but I thought I’d share a progress pic. I have also retrofitted the facelift led tail lights to my car.

I’m having a friend who does this as a business do them for me. The housing has been colored matched Polaris white, the amber reflector has been tinted, all bulbs have been replaced with leds, and the switch back led strips have been added as drls. It took him hours to get the first headlight apart. The adhesive is extremely strong and there are metal staples along the length of the headight. After making the first one multiple times he ended up cutting the other headlight open. He said this has been one of the most difficult headlights he’s taken apart.

great work! im on the fence about how they look, because our headlights are weirdly shaped. but pretty awesome none the less.

you did a great job with the lines on the inside of the shrouds. i feel like that alone could be a pretty cool idea, with a very dim LED in the headlight (kind of like how Acura does it now)
