Before and After $8.00 Euro Headlight Mod

Raine · 02-17-2011, 10:42 PM

Looks great.

Yvette · 02-17-2011, 10:44 PM

look more aggressive
nicely done

ichiban · 02-17-2011, 11:12 PM

I wonder if you can order the clear piece in euro lights, so you can replace the orange one. Bare bulb looks a little weird imho.

That part in the picture is actually not the bulb, the bulb is behind that little plastic diamond piece. It looks pretty cool in person. I also couldn't find silver replacement bulbs to get rid of the amber glow from the bulb, so i found some high temp metallic spray and sprayed my bulb. When the parking lights are on it illuminates amber. When off it is nice and clean looking.

Nice job! I would really like to see some more detailed photos. Espcially of the taking apart of the lenes. I am also curious IF you will have any condensation problems in the future.

M_BYEEE · 02-18-2011, 08:32 PM

Artz 330 · 02-18-2011, 09:03 PM

Any updates? I don't know if it's worth me losing the headlight warranty but this is so tempting.

+1 Already had them replaced once. Scary stuff. But you're right, it is SOOOOOOO tempting.

Did you try www.stealthauto.com for "stealth bulbs"? Your headlights look great BTW!
