Hadeen Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Do they have any 5th gen headlights? lol  With a 5th gen you have aftermarket options like these or doing custom work like this thread has outlined! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161017/cf603e07ebdba51586e52614a28c40c3.pnghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161017/1836e24e45817996c0c686f7e1d1d27d.png  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Was sort of asking Wayno, wouldn't mind $50 pair of 5th gen headlights to take apart and modify lol. I have OEM HID so not interested in those aftermarket ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubOperator Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks .NetSubie! Ordered set of these from Amazon, something to work on after holidays are over. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.NetSubie Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Quick update on my setup. Living in Ohio, the Salt has destroyed another set of electronics for the LED's. I had previously spliced in another set of inline controllers.  Long story short make sure the inline circuit boards are water tight, inside the light housing is probably best, but then they are not accessible if they go bad... I also got water inside one of my lights after I messed up the seal installing my intake(and not noticing). This combined with the really bad fogging means I'll be building another pair soon.  I'd like to try something different with the turn signal to make them brighter in the daytime while maintaining the blacked out reflector that I have. Thinking something like I have seen on some BMW's with led turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read threw all these posts and didn't see the answers to my questions. 1: Why paint the headlight housings black? Wouldn't the chrome make is shine brighter. 2: The LED strips you bought and installed were they the perfect size or did you have to cut or hide part of it, and did they come in one length or several and what length was that?. Ya multiple questions there. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazieboy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What lights are those behind the grill? I thought I may have been the only one to do it as I haven't seen anyone do it too. I like yours with that grill as you can see them easier. Also, I am wondering since i have the JDM headlight garnish, would I be able to stick my lights in the oven. 275 or whatever isn't too hot but don't want to mess em up.I put my 2009 legacy extra pair of headlights in the oven @ 200-207 degrees for 4-5min. After preheat on top shelf and they came mostly apart with some muscle then put them back in for another 3-4min. Then a couple more times to soften glue to try and remove most of it. I know this is an old Post. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
