Retrofit on some free headlights I got

beady1 · 10-31-2013, 06:35 PM

Hey guys got these for free when i bought an m3 rep. Here some shots of the lights of how they are now. Give me some ideas to do on these. Going to probably retrofit miromoto mini projectors into them and some kind of led halo. Just looking for some ideas of other stuff i could do to them. Probably going to sell them when i finish as i already retrofitted a set of lights for myself.

if you're willing to put in work, definitely change out the projector and both angel eye rings. as it currently is, i bet when that thing lights up it looks like the ghetto "angel eye" headlights they sell for civics and accords. new projectors/shrouds and larger, cleaner ae's can easily solve that problem.

I will definitely be changing the projectors and angel eyes. Just was looking for some other visual ideas etc.

paint the inner housing the color of your car?

Dual projector setup with new LED color changing AE.

maybe update them with a LCI look, like LED marker lights/turn signal, and an eyebrow. do a stylish paint scheme to the housings. maybe tint the entire "lens" for a full blackout look for someone. maybe do the bloodshot eye look too? idk just a few ideas.
