Headlights mod idea - what will you say?

[petrified.rabbit]

If you lightly scuff the chrome with w 3m scotch bright pad, and then spray it with a coat of etch primer. You will be able to then wet sand that with 1000 grit (don't go through) or spray wet on wet with the primer.. The color should be oem tint matched, or you will have odd colored headlights. The clear will be needed to keep the UV protection but, the glass provides what will appear as the gloss appearance.

Look up " Joey mod" either here, or add VW and do a google search to see how to do it. On a brand new car like yours you might want to price new headlights just in case to see if you have the nerve to open up a brand new headlight.

Hey, thanks for replying, folks! Here are my short comments on what you told me -

2 points: 1) Is the design of the bulb depended on that reflection? Is so no.

I've got projector lights, so that reflector gives pretty much nothing to me. It is the lens that matters and projects the ray.

2) Do not tint anything red coming towards you? People ahead can be confused with cars going away and you will become a Darwin candidate.

OMG, I even haven't thought of that! I've always thought that they do not allow tinting headlights red, because someone can confuse the vehicle with cops or something, you know. You are absolutely right, and thanks for commenting on that.

Thanks, will check it out tonight, let's see how people do it. If it's way too complicated maybe I'll just give up this idea haha
