Default new headlights

ok well back when the black headlights came out i had a choice between the amber side marker or the clear one..and i got the amber and i kinda regret it now seeing how i cant get clear ones anymore...and members are holding on to them....well mine seeing how they are like 4 or 5 years old now..were starting to age...so instead of buying new ones...i heated a set of factory and painted the insides a glossy black..and tinted my side reflectors...came out nice i think.











what do you guys think i should do with the turn signal....blue silverstar...stealth bulb..or switch back led?

I don't have them, but switchbacks have always had my interest

those look pretty good, how hard would it have been to tint the whole amber reflector?

Well there you go, Mr. Innovation gets the job done. Heck they look pretty nice. Use a stealth bulb....

Anyone know if this company's headlights are the one's without the amber lense? Says they are for off road and show purposes only, non-DOT approved. Sucks they have no picture...

I did a quick google search of the part number that it listed and all of the pictures have an amber lense. 2LH-MONT00JM-KS

I agree with stealth bulbs though

Your the man, hey nice effort anyway 01 Monte.........Now we know, looks like modifying the OEM's like this may be the only viable solution.
