Headlights and tail lights

Need some suggestions on some new heads and tails. I have a white evo. Was looking to get some demon eyes. I'd prefer just the red demon eye headlights. But the new Audi led strip and red demon eye combo setup doesn't seem like a bad choice either. Problem is I dont know much about good brands and I really dont want to start tearing apart the housing of my headlights to make what I want. Are there any headlights made with the demon eyes or a good Audi style demon eye headlight setup. Plug and play preferably. I dont want to be splicing and cutting any wires. Also the fog lights do people change those to the corresponding color to the headlights as well or keel them the OEM color? Looking for blacked out tail lights . Maybe some good websites would be ideal that I can browse through. Not much of a Ebay or Amazon fan. But most of the things I've looked up sell directly through ebay or Amazon.

If you search there was a guy that would do them for you if you mailed him the lights. Just be cautious about making anything too dark - looking cool is great, but being able to be seen by other drivers so you don't wreck your ride is priceless!

Popular options for headlights are OEM SSS or VLAND Audi style.

Popular options for tail lights are VARIS/MARS or VLAND

Yea that's what I was a little worried about. I dont like the halo rings too much. But I guess that's kind of my only option ?because I font want to limit the light needed.


Also the bland audi style , those were what I was originally looking at. Now if I buy a red set. The projected light is the red demon eye? So I'm going to have red light for headlights?

Understandable. I just want a diff set of headlights and tail lights. Money inst an issue really. Plus the oems are clean not glazed or fogged but they suck so bad at night I pretty much need the highbeems. Car isnt lowered either. I live in a area that is hilly and twisty turny. And dont want to just see 20 ft in front if me going around a turn or hill.

For the headlights have you considered changing the globes to get more output. There are many options available including high intensity LED, also check the alignment to make sure the headlights are optimised.

For taillights if you don’t like the Audi style have a look at Spyder Taillights.
Regards Peter.

Changing out the bulbs doesn't involve any cutting or tearing apart anything - you can just get a better bulb option (LED are great options if done right) for your current setup, There are a lot of good options out there, just research what are good replacement bulbs for your current car based on model / year.

Another option is upgrading to HID but that is an expensive one to take.

It does take some doing to get to the bulbs - plan on having a jack / jackstand - and read up on the steps - you need to remove the entire front bumper. So be sure 'while you're in there' to replace all the bulbs you plan on upgrading. Don't just do the main headlights then later kick yourself for not doing the parking lights lol.

LED changeover and I think you'd be a happy man,

I have the Vland Audi style headlights and have major problems with people not seeing the turn signals on them. Almost everyday i have people pulling out in front of me and them yelling out their window saying ' use your F******* turn signals'


So i am at the point of needing to remove them.
