Best non-orange headlights?

Curious as to what you guys have had the best experience with. I want a pair of headlights that DO NOT have the orange turn signals, they just look bad. Something more xenon/angel eye ish; like the new ones would be preferable. I have looked on eBay but don't know what to trust or not.

Also, any opinions on having the black inside lining as opposed to chrome? I feel like they would go really nice with black grills.


Thanks!

Cheapest option: Open the lights, spray the boomerangs in black and install led angel eyes.

Chrome bulbs wont help in a amber Hockey stick.....you have 3 options 1. Source clear hockey sticks and cut open ur OEM lights and retro fit angels ( this is what i did ) but the clear hockeys are hens teeth 2. Source face lift xenons complete head lights but again hens teeth and wont be cheap 3. Buy the only after market ones that have angels and either have black or chrome inners, they are about £350 and look ok.

Option 2 isnt really an option either... Requires a coding and rewiring to get facelift xenons to work on prefacelift's.... Certainly need to know what you are doing to spending money at a specialist to do.

Yes, except the boomerangs as they were already white. But I'm going to re-open them to replace the faulty ccfl's with leds and spraypaint the boomerangs in black. I already have black inners too. And you're right, it's nit a 20 min job, lol... Best take your time, foresee a whole day and just do things slowly. Afterwards, make sure the re-sealing is waterproof, I rusched mine a bit last time. This time, I will seal them, let it dry for a night and then seal it from the outside again, with black silicone to make it look OEM again. I hope it will solve the issue with fog in the headlights... if not, I'll have to replace the rubbers at the back of the lights too... Come to think of it, might best do that at the same time. Anyone know where to get these rubbers?

I'm sure there is a compnay your side of the pond that will do this for you. In the old days a few from here sent their lights over.
 
I cut mine open and tinted the Orange hockey sticks. Then fitted angel eyes

Happy with the result, does take ages thou.

That does look good, seems like your lights' clear lenses are in need of some refurb tho
Or is the car just that dirty? :poke: :rofl:

It's a combination of both lol. The whole car really needs a decent machine Polish to restore it to its former glory :thumbsup:
