    Suggestions for lighting please!

    Hey all!

    I understand there was a thread on headlights just the other week, but I'm interested in your opinions on the following...

    I'm assuming I will get some smoked fogs and indicators over the crystal variety, also smoked side markers, thereby following the trend with the tails. But the following headlights are; FK's, angel eyes with projectors (hella celis) , and finally mk4 looks...



    for the following car

    Hey nice looking car...its a very hard to get the exact combination right when modifying the front end. It took me months to decide what I wanted for mine.....There are so many different directions you can go in but I always say the cleaner the better.
    For you car I would go the MkIV headlights with white indicators with either the wide fogs or the kamei ducts like on mine. I just think the smoked fogs are too much on a white car (but just my opinion).
    I'd also paint the grill white too..You might think it will be too much white but it'll look clean as. Eyelids look good on the MkIV lights too....
    in the end your car though. Good luck with it!

    +1 for the FK's, I think the others have too much chrome for a headlight and it makes them look cheap (even if they arent).

    Any of those three will look sweet, and headlights will transform your front end, you may find even more people trying to race you if you fit angel eyes. As soon as mine went on, those illuminated rings seemed like a xmas tree on a drag strip to four cylinder foes.

    the smoked would look sweet to go with your tail lights!

    Hey Sean, I'm going for the exact look you're going for too!
    I'm looking into getting smoked turns and filler plates for the front (contemplating fogs but they are damn expensive) too. If you're happy with the light output of your current headlights, you could try getting the "projector" look by painting the surrounds. My opinion is totally biased as I did it myself for my dual chambers, and it came out excellent - the exact look that I was going for:



    In my opinion, it maintains the 'stock' look. But if you're looking for a more updated look, doing a similar mod for Mk4 look-alike headlights would look sick too and would give you that updated look:



    Not the same but should give you a rough idea!
