New Headlight Mod....

I know this won't appeal to everyone but I had to give it a shot. I contacted the infamous "bluebatmobile" to make me a set of "Chrome Sidemarker Overlays". He did a great job and shipped them right out. However after I put them on I felt they looked a bit out of place and trimmed about 1/2" off of each side. Anyhow the results are below. Its a good cheap mod for those with a steady hand. Could it look better...yes and I'll make improvements. But I personally think its an improvement over the amber.

Edit: Sorry for the car being so dirty....I just haven't had the time!

It's actually not that bad, because you have a silver car... Reminds me of the chrome headlight rings that they make for MBs.

Looks good but now you've covered up the yellow side maker that blinks when your blinkers are on. Could that be a problem in most states? Just asking....

Wow that was a quick response. The light shines right through the vinyl so that doesnt seem to be an issue. You can't see any amber what so ever during the day or night. They seem very chrome in the pics but in person they are nearly a perfect match to the chrome in the headlights. This mod is illegal in PA because you need to have amber reflect on the side of the car. I'm sure that it wont be a problem though. I'm going to work with Blue Bats to make this style rather than the one he offers now. The total cost is only about $12! You can't beat the look for that $$.

I think the issue is that you still need side reflectors though... and they're supposed to be amber as per DOT I think. No big deal though... people go with clears for the longest without getting harassed by The Man. The only issue would be if you live in a state where they wouldn't pass inspection.

Tek, I didnt figure you'd mind me using your ride as an example:







I think this looks tight... Im sure if it was silver you wouldnt have any problem seeing the light through it. Hmmm.... what do you guys think?



BTW, this is a photoshop newbs..

Keep in mind guys...Bats overlays are nice and very high quality but not cut the same as mine. I shaved about 1/2" off the vinyl. Its very easy to do...I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Again for $12 you can't go wrong. Buy two sets incase you mess one up.

That looks sharp. My tint is illegal I guess I shouldn't worry about the markers. In Maryland you go through inspection once in a lifetime so I'm good. Sign me up. A bat pm me with info.
