I saw a guy a couple weeks ago do this on instagram and decided to tape it up to se how it would look in person

I like the way it looks but im worried about melting the headlights if i do it (obviously not blue)

Does anybody have any input on this? Possibly experience of something similar?

i was at a jeep show and saw some jeeps with plastidip it looked like doing the same thing, i'm not sure what the reason behind that is though, looks?? i do prefer my lights to be less obstructed to maximize my beam though.

Hayden, we need to take you wheeling and give you some advice on prioritizing the mods that you really "need" but who's judging - it's your rig - to each his own! Carpe diem, buenos nachos & live and let live! :cool:

Guys..im bored and have extra plastidip. Its just for the agressive look haha. I know how to wheel. Wish i had a group to do it with though

Edit: Its just an idea i through out there, im not running to go paint my headlights i just thought it looked neat, not everything mod you do the truck has to be practical

It is for looks, i like the agressive look of it. From the guy i talked to on ig he said it doesnt really obstruct vision

Hey give it a shot!! If it's plastidip and you decide you don't like it, well all you got to do is peel it off. Nothing to lose there!! I can see it now where it looks like mean eyes.

The mod you really "need" to add to your rig is a white 14" bike tire tied to your rear D-ring with green synthetic rope. It serves a dual practical purpose and keeps you from flipping backwards while doing wheelies on the street or when climbing VERY steep hills offroad! :D

Yamaha banshees have been doing this for longer than I've been alive. It's just to add "human traits" (personality) to vehicles.

First time I saw it on cars was like 8 years ago on VW forums ha.

I question the legality of it. I'm sure if your insurance company found out that you were painting over your headlights they wouldn't be okay with it.

I do as well, it doesnt really affect the way the light is thrown much i dont want the housing to melt or warp though
