Default Changed headlights

I swapped out my silver headlight buckets for some cyber gray ones. I think it goes well with my hood with the cyber gray Jake and black surround and the transparent roof panel.

I like it much better than the black ones. They always make me think of a raccoon.

Much better than black headlights or tinted lenses.

Looks good.

How much were the new ones? how long to swap?

I'm considering going black.

Well, I had seen a few pics of a 2011 Cyber Gray Grand Sport with silver headlights and silver hash stripes and thought it looked really cool. So, I posted here on the forum to see if any cyber gray owners wanted to swap headlights and found one. So we swapped headlights and we both now have cars that are a little bit more unique. He was going to get some stripes done so maybe he will post when he's ready. So, to answer your question, with $2k insurance coverage and shipping, it cost me $153. Took about an hour and a half to remove the lights, couple hours to re-install them.

Looks good with the hood setting them off. Without the hood they would not be as good looking.

I agree, I think they go really well with your hood. Nice job!

I think that with or without the hood it would look great! But I think the hood is awesome!
