    Default Doing my own custom headlights

    So I picked up a set of 04 headlights from a buddy of mine to play with, since he switched to the 06 projectors. I'm not sure what I want to do with them but I know i'm painting the housings black. I want to a clear signal lense and LEDs down the clearence strip. We'll see how this goes.

    I know some stuff about LED/angel eye fabrication... Feel free to PM me if you want some advice or pointers

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I thought about color matching them but I didn't want to do that since my wheels are being color matched. That would be too much blue. Good idea though.

    EDIT: Cool Miss, I may PM you sometime.

    I saw a tutorial on how to make angel eyes yourself...seemed easy enough, but I don't know much about wiring and all that.
