I want to do something special with my stock headlights....i need some ideas...please post some pictures of your customized headlights....

 

i'll be the first to say it, go check out the retro fit headlight thread, i'll find it a post the link

 

ok

 

Ask yopu Shall receive!..

I wouldnt do a Retro-fit unless u have the $$$ its An "expensive" thing to do!..

Here's mine Bak'd open..Painted Eyebrow, Front turn signal, And Amber Corner.

 

How did u get them to seal back up?

 

There are tons of threads with this type of info in it, as well as how to's floating around. Please search for those before starting new threads.

So you're looking to be unique but want to see what others have done?

 

That's what I was thinking.

One of the cleanest things I've seen done with the headlights (and I'm too scared to do myself) is to bake them open and then paint the black housing to color match your car. Looks clean IMO.

 

Well there are more stock ones than ones with lids....and thats the only thing i could think of typing at the time...

 

I think that'll be my next mod when I shave my garnish. Painting the inside BSP and maybe a BSP eyebrow on the inside of the lens

 

 

that looks good...someone told me just to tape up the headlight and paint the eyelid on the outside...would u suggest that?

 

not at all, the eye lid gives that curve to match up with hood and fender. i wouldn't use vinyl overlays either as they look tacky and dont match as well as paint

 

So what would u recommeend? the plastic lids?

 

I have the plastic eyelids i bought off ebay. IMO they make the front look alot better.

 

bluebat does a pretty good job of matching most colors.

yeah bluebat matches colors pretty well but i think color matching the inside of the headlights with the color of the car is pretty cool. SWTCKID did that on his 08 headlghts and it looks really good, especially in person
