    Head Lights question

    What do you guys think for headlights?

    Eyelids?

    Projectors?

    or both?

    Both of them I will be painting the inside black.
    Is it ricey?

    I'm just curious of anyone has done projectors with eye lids and a blacked out lense.

    Do the retro, you will thank yourself later. As for halos, I don't like them but if you do, more power to you. Same goes for eye lids. Don't worry about others opinion because their opinion doesn't mattee.

    My one friend said that eyelids and a retrofit would be too much to him.

    Anything you wanna do is fine, but I'd advise against a blacked-out lens if you mean you're gonna tint the lens somehow. Reduces output and creates a safety concern. No amount of coolness is worth sacrificing safety.

    Edit: definitely projectors, if you mean you wanna do a retrofit, it will be awesome if you put some quality HID projectors in your heads.

    Whoops I didnt mean lens. I meant lamp like when I retrofit it. I think I'll do the eyelids I mean it's only $20 for the vinyl sheet.

    Eyelids are always a good thing if they flow well. Retrofit will be nice and HIDs will be a huge improvement.

    Oh ok you on it then. Blacked out internals on the heads always seem to look nice IMO. Good luck with it all!

    Will you be painting the shroud black as well? Do you have tinted windows? I feel the All black headlights only work on certain set ups less they look cheap in my opinion

    Not really related to you guys ,but this is what im having made up for my car .

    On the left is a dual bi-zenon hid set up with angel eyes,black painted bezels and before fitting ,the main reflector will be painted black as well.

    Stock set up is obviously on the car with a set of very old now led strips that have faded from black ,so you could barley see them ,to a horrible looking whitish strip that will be removed once i change over the had lights.

    ^ Is that LED strip just out there like that??

    Retrofitting will look very nice, if your willing to pay the price. Be careful with HID's though, they're illegal unless its factory. But, if your good enough, you can talk your way out of a ticket lol. It also helps to make sure that the angle of light isn't up too high. Eyelids look great on darker cars IMO, so if you do yours it will look awesome!
