make ur headlights look like xenon car lights!
 
i took a blue colored fine tip crayola marker and colored the lens on the pop up part of the headlights on my savannah. then i colored the led itself and now it looks loke blueish expensive car headlights and the light that shines through the bottom of the car looks kinda like a blue underglow!! try it!

Good idea. Does it restrict the light coming thru the headlight lens' in any way?

the lights shine just as bright. but i used a light blue washable marker to be safe. just color the whole clear part on the pop up lights and then take off the body top and color the underside of the L.E.D's.

I used Sharpie on mine, and it worked much better than the Crayola. The color doesn't bleed off and it creates xenon headlights quite well. The only problem ia a bit of blue Sharpie was left on the body under the lights, but it is barely noticable.

here is a picture in a lit room. u can kinda see the blueish underglow and headlights now.

so wut do u people think of this mod? well not really a mod but an appearance change. i found it works better if u pry off the hot glue holding on the headlights and color the whole LED. how bout we have sum people take pics of their headlights colored in a different color other than blue. maybe yellow?
