Well I’m putting together the new headlight and tail light build. Since I will be doing the HD hood and paint matching grilled and bumpers this summer it is time to attack my headlights. The smoked look needs to go away since the grille will be blue and there wont be any chrome to break up the front end. Here is where I am at now, chime in, offer suggestions, share links to other great products and ideas I am not 100%
Heads: I have two options on the table.
Option 1:
I really like the internal look of the lights I have now, I just want chrome not black. I love the 2 side LED marker lights, I dont really care about the halos but that’s how they come and if I open anyway I can change all that around.
So these are identical to what I have now just clear lens and chrome. They are plastic lens and I dont think the tend to last very long, the ones I have now are crap after 3 years.
TRS internals: they released a quick-swap projector package for the Spyder headlights. You get to swap out the crap projector for a nice Morimoto and it’s super easy to swap them out. I get the led markers I like, I get upgraded projectors, and I was going to take my stock mounts and try to retro fit them to these housing so they won’t wobble and will hopefully be stronger. That pretty much just leaves the weak plastic lens which will get nasty and fade in 3-4years. But if I did it right I think I could just buy new housings for cheap when the lens go bad and swap the stuff around easy peasy......
Option 2:
I saw these and thought about doing a standard retro fit, if they really have glass lens that would be awesome.....I would use all the same stuff above from TRS just get the proper projector and should to do a standard retrofit.
Not sure what I want to do, I know the glass will be more factory and probably hold up longer, I could try retrofitting marker lights in the glass housing if its that important to me....I just dont know.....
