Custom Headlights (Do they still make them?)

Gungrave · 10-05-2012, 04:15 AM

So quick question. I know 180 Customs and Mr Works made them, but not sure if either still do. Anyway does anyone still make the custom headlights with the blue "landing zone" LED's?

yea, they make you do all the work of uninstalling/reinstalling the lights and they use probably less than $50 in parts to mod them.

Carbon Fiber Element · 10-05-2012, 06:56 PM

Yea...Waay too much

Any body have a reputable source of buying LEDs that will last a long while. The ones I have keeps on flickering.

king12sky · 10-05-2012, 11:27 PM

Go with Tony@CFE's contact. you cant really go wrong with it. 180 is hella expensive! i got the same work done with half the price! =)

At the price some of these people charge, you should just try it yourself and if you mess it up buy a new light. You would still save money.

The difference in what the DIY job does and what I and 180 do are completely different. The build materials like LEDs and such are different along with sized wires and resistors. Follow the DIY and its a pretty permanent wiring job... I myself have incorporated some quick disconnects so that you can change your bulbs... Something to think about. I did Moses with cf elements original headlights at his home for him in the middle of winter.... Dam it was a few cold days.

If your looking for quality LEDs check out Oznium.com they are expensive but are the best pre built LEDs on the market for the DIYer. Remember for the higher end LEDs it requires modifications to the back of the landing strip to get them to sit flat. I will say that it takes a good 20+ hours to drill and shave down the backside with out f'ng it up! I have done several headlights and the hours stay the same... 20+ for both strips and the middle of the strip is the hardest!!! If your in the southeast and you need a quick turn around I can help any members who would like help. Also expect about $260-$400 for automotive paint and that's dependent on what you want done.
