You could go all out and buy new headlights... ? EURO style has a white reflector
DEPO 240 LED Angel Eyes w/ LED turn signals... these have a blacked out marker all together, light shines through 3 holes in the top as well (not sure if that's a good or bad thing in our case) You could put some vinyl on the outside headlamp... looks sloppy IMO, but a lot of people do it anyway. You could bake them open or have someone (like Imperial Tinting & Graphics in Kirkland) take them apart and put vinyl over them or paint them - looks a lot more professional. -these guys can also make custom angel eyes for you in case you don't have them already. Or you can retrofit the LCI lights as well... that's about all the suggestions i have... |

in the meantime, I had them deleted through coding (at least they don't light-up anymore) ![]() |

OH! forgot one! You could also get your headlights tinted... a light smoke (like 35%) would hide the amber a little bit (that's what i have done to mine so far until i get DEPO's after deployment)...

Quality is crap and the LEDs fail rather quickly

Other then the fact they are a crappy headlight, made with cheap material and have shitty lighting output; nothing.

In general, I have never been impressed with the quality of the DEPO products that I have seen. See below comments by
