Default Anyone build custom headlights???

Just ordered new headlights for my truck since I'm having trouble getting the "hazing" fog off of mine. Thinking of building a custom set. Just trying to see if anyone else has done it. Don't wanna have a 700$ set of lights when I'm done so no over priced oracle rings for me. But I still want rgb halos and maybe projectors or led pod mounted in them.

Yes. There are tons of retrofit threads with a lot of great information. Using the search function you can find all kinds of threads with for retrofiting with different components used (different projectors, demon eyes, halos, ect)

If you want the colourshifting halos, avoid Oracle at all costs. Garbage product.
I'd highly suggest going with LED Concepts or ESSK Customs up here in Canada. Much better product.

You need to take them off and run a bead of silicone around where the clear lens meets the black housing. Trust me.

I have bought at least 6 sets of ebay heads for various vehicles over the years, 3 for our trucks. They all need that little extra bit of sealing up. The only issue I have ever had was one set had the clear UV peel on the lens after about a year. But at $70 a pair, who cares......lol
