Default Customizing Headlights

I want to match the rings of my headlights to my fog lights blue - is it possible? If so, how?

I'm guessing you got those on Ebay or Spyder?

I'm not trying to be a _______ but those headlights are garbage. I have a pair sitting in my closet that i used for a week before taking them off. They have some of the worst reviews of any product for a TC.

That being said, you have to buy blue halos and then bake open the headlight and install them. Its a lot of work and not very easy.

.... I didnt buy those, I brought the car 2 months ago with these headlights.

The fog lights were not connected when I brought them, when I connected them it looks good that I want to convert the others to that color.

A lot of work you say? *sigh* thanks.

I have never heard one positive thing about any halos or LEDs in headlights that weren't custom made by buying the LEDs and then baking(yes baking in an over) the headlight open and installing them. Then resealing them shut. It really is a lot of work.

Also, you have to find a good quality halo in the right size and in blue color. I'm sure you can find one, but that probably won't be easy either.

^ this. Trust me it took months of planning and design to get the ones on my xB to look clean. Then the electrical work was a kind of a pain. Honestly it's best to just leave it and find another way to match the blue in other areas.

They make kits for the gen 1 tc. Check out oracle they make some good kits. Basically you'd have to get stock headlights but they shouldn't be hard to find just keep your eyes on the classifieds I've seen them come up plenty of times.

I could make you a set out of aluminum, dunno about your budget and I'd need a set of headlights to work with. You can actually replace those LEDs if you've got the skills, I was going to stop there when the aluminum idea came to me.

This^^ he does good work. He's the one who build my set. It's the way to go. If you send them out they can be installed and we can make sure the seal is better then the junk they use in the spider headlights...
