Color Matched Headlights? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Cade01 · 06-11-2013, 09:10 PM

I have been looking and I thought there was a thread where someone color matched their headlights, we, can't seem to find it.
Can someone with Photoshop and some skills shop up a Whiteout with white headlights? With only the high beam reflectors left chrome and maybe some other options if you're feeling creative.

Here's a bad picture of my headlights, if you have a better picture it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Austin

Hmm, that does look pretty good, now I have to decide on this or blacking them out...

Black them out. That bit of contrast will give the car a really aggressive look. Combined with the already more aggressive looking front end of the FR-S compared to the BRZ, it'll look awesome.

Like any other raven that has blacked out head lights.

why not choose a color you can actually see, firestorm, lava, WRB. please. silver black and white look too natural.

Would painting the headlights be the same, in terms of legality, as painting the side reflectors red? Would painting the headlights red be illegal? Or to put it another way, are the only legal choices I have to paint headlights black or white?

'Cause these look awesome! I love the white on white.

Is the front bumper of a red car not red? What's the difference? The light isn't red.

I was just making sure. I did not think there would be a problem, but I thought there may have been some form of law.

The c6 has yellow headlights, so I would assume as long as they don't change light output they can be rainbow colored?
