Best place to customize headlights?

tambat · 04-07-2014, 01:44 PM

Hey all, i'm sure this has been answered before but i'm seeing tons of different opinions. who has sent out their headlights for custom painting/AE installs? i have a pre LCI with xenons and i want to change out the amber reflectors as well as possibly add some LED AE's. how much did you guys pay for services similar to this? thanks

I have no complaints with my ONEighty head lights.. Biggest reason I chose them was because they are local to me.

I see your a midwestern member. There's a shop in Detroit that does work. There's a guy named Tom that does good work too.

I got mine during a promotion ONEighty was running so my price came out to the same as Tom charges.. I have also had people who deal with Tom say that he does good work but the craftsmanship and paintwork on my headlights is neater and cleaner (their words not mine). I am in no way knocking Tom because he has a ton of happy customers but sometimes price isn't everything.

This work looks legit. Did you have your headlights done by them?

dghits26 · 04-08-2014, 09:13 AM

I got my headlights done by 180 and I must say they came out crazy clean. I was very happy and would recommend anyone to go . No knock to tom cause I have seen his work and was extremely close to going to him . But i ended up going with 180 . I don't think you'll be disappointed with whoever you choose.
