I have seen threads before, but I was just wondering how can I put i.e blue light instead of the original light of the eyebrow? how much do these led lights cost anyways?

Thanks, Vlad.

Blue won't look right and you'll probably get in trouble due to the fact that it imitates police.

Your best bet is to do White to match your HID's.

there's a few posts on how Eugene first embarked on this journey. look for his thread, Eugene134. If you still are discourage, I do this mod for people in my area. There's a socal member that does it for people in their area too.

Wouldn't do blue unless you have another set of headlights that you can swap out. I got 2 sets. One with red eyebrows and one white. Because if you're only using one set and get pulled over for the blue lights all the time. You'd have to ship them back to nigxdoof to redo them in white.

When I changed my 2nd set to red, I played around with blue and green.

They look white-ish in pictures but in person, they are really blue.



Here's one in green
