What can be done to update the Headlights?
Ok so I don't have the $ right now to get new headlights with all the led strips and blacked out that that vendor sells on here. Well I do, but wanna do a few more other mods first. What can be done to modernize and update the headlights some? I never like amber in anything so wanna hide the strip somehow. I've seen some pics and threads about headlight vinyl overlays....are they the way to go? If so could I get some input and also with the overlays is a vinyl car shop the place to get them professionally installed or would you go to a tint shop? Thanks in advance.

you'd want the TSX-R lens and butyl tape seealer.

I opened up mine and can say pretty much as long as you have a decent size oven and some patience, its not that hard at all. Just time consuming. I recommend taking a full day or even weekend and taking your time. The more time you spend prepping and doing things right, the better it will come out.
Set aside a weekend and do the headlights yourself, if you decide to change the projector lens (which I highly recommend) the cost will be about $50 + paint and sealer. They will look better than the overlays and you can do any paint scheme you want.

+1 on this
Yeahhhhh I'm all about "some" DIY projects, but the headlights just seem a lot of work and for some god forsaken reason I would mess something up I would be out a lot of money replacing them.....but I can't go a week without headlights bc it's my daily, and I really don't wanna pay more than like $200 or so for now until I get a drop and wheels.......hmmmmm......
