Hi all !
So, I want to yellow my headlights.
Retropug has given me loads of advice on this and showed me his own yellow s16 headlights (thanks you again). I basically want exactly what Retropug has lol. Thing is I've been searching all over to try and find the lights or even the yellow plastic inserts and I don't want to be rude and annoy Retropug by asking a load of questions when I can just ask them all up here. So I figured I'd put this up and get any info I can and when I'm doing mine I'll stick up a guide thread with pictures etc of the process of yellowing my headlights for anyone else that wants to do the same in the future.
I've found a way of purchasing the headlights with two separate sections inside but before I purchase them, do they all have the plastic insert which can be tinted yellow ? I don't know a huge amount about these so I don't want to presume that they all have this plastic lense inside. I don't want to cover the outside of my lights with a yellow film either as that would be too easy and not authentic looking enough for me lol. This is aesthetically a big part of the front end of the car for me so I want to get it right. I know about the implications of yellowing headlights I'm going to be taking the grille out and installing spots so that'll be fine and a d turbo bumper with fogs will be going on this car too so all lighting conditions should be covered.
