Headlight covers

[TheGr8Schlotzky]

I just did the fake hid conversion finally to my brights since i liked the results of the low beams. I had to take off my headlight covers for it and i will leave them off until the silicone is dry. It made me realize how much better the car looks with them than without..

i don't want to wait for it to dry i want to put them on now! haha

Re: Headlight covers

are those the clear headlight covers? how well does light shine through them at night? had any trouble with cops or do you take them off when driving at night?

Re: Headlight covers

x2 ... makes the car look much much better... i havent been hassled by the cops at all but with my original headlights, you can harldy see the road.

i have the smoked fog light covers on as well, but id rather sacrifice appearance of the car than appearance of the road at night :) haha

Re: Headlight covers

i know what your talking about, but i was thinking he did something else...
thats easy enough.

but you can also replace the headlights with foglights, and they turn out pretty bright

Re: Headlight covers

Mine actually aren't clear. They are the carbon fiber ones. In the right light they look smoked, but in the picture they are more clear. IMO they are the perfect cover because they are dark enough to make the headlights look almost blacked out in certain light, and better in all lighting, and they don't affect nightime visibility. I just replaced teh bulb with silverstars.

With the stock headlights, even these covers make it hard to see, but with the silverstars it's fine.

Re: Headlight covers

I also put silverstars in my foglights which helps out quite a bit. Like i said my lenses are carbon fiber, sort of a circled checkerboard look when you look at them closely, so they do take out some light at night, but the silverstars in the foglights really make up for it.

Re: Headlight covers

Re: Headlight covers

sorry i think i was mixing up my headlights with my foglights. I meant i put some off brand..EuroDesign i think, 8500K blue bulbs in the foglights, but from the front, they look the same color if not a little better than my headlights, and make up for the headlight covers.

Re: Headlight covers

u got a pic of what they look like?

[TheGr8Schlotzky]

Re: Headlight covers

i'll try to get a picture of them, i'm not sure how well it will turn out. If you look at them right, there is a blue tint, otherwise it looks just super white, i'm not sure if the blue tint will show in the picture though i'll find out.

Re: Headlight covers

I kinda like how your car looks without the headlight covers...

Re: Headlight covers

I finally got mine put on. Theyve been sitting in the box since I got the car, because I was told "With the 3.4 the air is sucked up from the headlight area"

I figured, to heck with it, if it runs hot, I take the covers out. Sure, it ran 10-25 degrees hotter, but it still doesnt go over 100F

Maybe Ill say and convince myself "A CAI is required :P"
