Default Black Headlights DONE!

Just got my headlights done! Big thanks to Mike at Vettesthetics

Here's the website... http://vettesthetics.com
As you can see, they turned out quite marvelous! Satin black bezels and gloss black bezel rings. Mike smoked my DRL lenses for me too so they blend in really well with the projector lenses. So stoked! Been waiting to do this for a while! I definitely recommend Mike at Vettesthetics if you're looking to change the color of your lights. Lots of options to customize them however you like.

That looks awesome. How did you get the insert into the housing? I thought I heard it was pretty difficult to separate the lens and the housing without breaking something or needing a new lens.

I would assume the last photo is from the guy who did the work. If they are like any other headlight you have to bake them to heat up the glue for the lenses to come off.

I am interested, I need new lenses in the worst way, they are all crazed or something and look awful. Tried standing and polishing them but it wasn't on the surface.

I don't typically like yellow. But the black headlights really tone it down and bring it all together. Lookin good! MERICA'

Thank you for the kind words Dallas! These came out awseome and the Satin is a new touch to the old trick of modding these lights. It really does enhance the look of the front end tremendously! I appricate the business and welcome to the Vettesthetics family! -Mike
