View Full Version : Boring headlights. Let's spice them up

My headlights are looking very bland to me lately. Completely factory except LED bulbs all around. I'm thinking about what I can do to make them more interesting and better looking.

I've seen people paint black accents inside the enclosure. What paint can I use for that? What is a good sealant to use after I put the housings back together?

Also thinking about a projector retrofit. I've read on that a pretty good amount but never have done it myself so I'm nervous. Which projectors are recommended? I've seen a lot of Morimoto mini D2S. Can LED bulbs be used in projectors? Or is HID the only option? I much prefer LED operation over HID. I've also been looking into Morimoto XB fogs, those look good.

I've shared some photos of my lights here. Any ideas are welcome! Thanks guys. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170709/a4be1bc5e47805d67df183e9f1f157f4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170709/66fc217ecefae76fc0b4e550a33ae777.jpg

Wish I could be of help with this, but I've got nothing. I've seen tinted headlights and tails on a lot of cars, but don't really know what best practices are. Also haven't done any projector retrofit homework, but I've seen several threads about it.

My best recommendation would be to do a bunch of searching and reading throughout the forum.

They make D2S/D2R LED bulbs. So you could go with LED if you wish with a projector retrofit.

The headlights should seal right back if you opened them up by heating the assembly. "TheBarber" should be able to help you out there with that.
