I've been fortunate enough to see a couple pairs of his headlights in person, and let me tell you there are brand new cars out there with headlights that don't look as good as these do. They're one of those things that look so nice, you wanna be mad but can't lol.

You bet! Actually was messing with my lights this week, found out that the rods for the auto adjusters had been popped out of the ball socket on both sides this entire time... wonder why the beams were sometimes bouncy lol. At least the motors weren't seized up, they function nicely now... the things I keep finding on this car

[JorisRS6]

Very nice marko. They all came out great.

How much are you charging to get this done? I have a pair ready to go PM Me The C5 headlight has the best design of any headlight even in this year, 2020

This is the only right way of making dark looking headlight, nothing to reduce light output!
Some serious headlight porn..
Where did you get these european-only "fake projector" round lenses in the corners?

Thanks V1nny!

They're not fake haha
It's genuine Euro corners painted black, they begun as Euro headlights that were modified and reworked completely.

[Grainreaper]

Do you have a source for the foam gaskets on the back cover? I have a leaker on one of mine

How the hell'd you find a set of Euro allroad headlights?

Thanks! Leak is driving me crazy!

Straight from good ol' Germany, right before Covid thing hit.

You got it! It's cooking your headlight too, which isn't cool at all.

Does this require any opening of the lights? I'm asking as my light get's condensation I did a headlight restore job myself and it did get better but nothing like the pics i'm seeing on here should I PM you for more details?

To make them look that good and perform, you'd have to open them and do quite some work. Resto wouldn't get rid off condensation, seems like you have a bigger problem unfortunately.
Yeah, pm me, I'll be more than glad to help.

Man some serious headlight porn. I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a set from you at some point for my 02 Allroad. I tried to buff my lenses out and they are pretty good but i'm just not happy with it. Is there a way to pop the orange/amber out of them? and is that the difference in between the Euros and ours?

And yes, I know my bumper needs some work, but it's such a good Stage 3 sleeper!

I opened mine up and blacked them out. I looked at popping the amber lens out but I didn’t want to cause extra damage. So my plan b was to lens tint the outside just over the amber.

It was a chore, and I’d definitely do a few things different next time.
