    New headlights couple questions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I got some brand new valeo headlights for free from my work to replace my black 2 piece depos. Should I do the clear corner mod? I am just worried about drilling holes because I dont want the new lights to not fog at all. Thats what the problem is with my old ones. I also am buying some VVME HIDs for them but i am wondering what type of bulb to buy H7 or what theres a ton of different kinds?

    Dude, you gotta CC mod it! I would not worry one single bit about them fogging. I have done it to two headlights and have not made them fog and I didnt even seal the holes I drilled. If you really want to make sure nothing goes wrong, get some clear silicone from the store and seal the holes.

    Like he said. I did the CC mod with chrome corner bulbs that blinks amber and it looks great. I plugged the holes with silicone and had no problem so far with fogging.

    A properly performed CC mod won't fog. Mine lasted a couple years with no problems. That said, I didn't clear corner my current headlights. Didn't want to screw with it and like that I can't get pulled over for it.
