Mate, are you talking about the blue angel eyes? if so, yes you can. They come in various sizes and colours, you just have to open your headlights and spice the inverters into your sidelights.

Do you think Trails? .................

Here's one for ya.........As I have to wait till next week before I can fit them, I 've been thinking what to do.......Yeah, its a bad thing right.....

What about opening up the front bumper indicators and spraying them black too

Should complete the look right ?? (fogs will be removed fog covers fitted once the new headlights have bedded in for a week or so)

Is that Yours? Nice look....

Something like that......I'm thinking of keeping the glass clear so you can see through them (like the other lights) but to black them up from the inside

To finish them off, some nice LED bulbs to light them up

Watch this space......

It is...and while I'm showing off here's what I did last year;



lots to do though; really need the bonnet painting

Best off tinting the outside of the plastic and then running orange bulbs, that way you can still see the indicators working...which is nice
