Default Retrofit Headlights?

Just an idea.. but what if you removed the headlights and then mounted a couple KC daylighters in there and made a fiberglass insert that covered the ugly part behind it? It'd be rugged! but would they be too bright to use on the road?

not to bright but you would legally have to have other parts of the assembly like blinkers and reflectors

You don't need reflectors people black out their reflectors all the time here and never get pulled over for it. But he does need turn signals. And you might not be able to run another set of fogs cause the headlights will be fogs.

maybe not in your area but there were a bunch of recalls a while back on aftermarket products because of non approved reflectors by ADOT or whoever is in charge of that stuff. even if they're blacked out I believe the reflector is still there doing some reflecting just not as much (correct me if i'm wrong).
