    Hello, I am looking to do something with my head lights and taillights, they all don't look that great. I have been reading around and saw everyone saying to retrofit a set of headlights, is that a difficult or expensive task? Also, I was looking into doing the taillight tint, but isn't it illegal? Is there anything that you guys can suggest? I am only 16 and I am on a limited budget. Let me know and thanks in advance.

    just get led tail lights one of the best upgrades imo. retros will cost a lot close 250 atleast and will take time.

    For a retro you'll need this kit. Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (H1) - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc
    You should also probably get new capsules, unless your capsules are nice.
    You'll also need a dremel to cut the back of the housing as well as the shroud for the projector.
    You'll need some foil tape for the projector too since you'll have to take a couple of pretty good chunks out of the shroud.

    Not sure on the black housings, never bothered looking at them because I was more worried about function than looks.
    And +1 LED tails. I love my LED tails.

    Do the black housings cause the headlights to not be as effective?
