Autotuning with headlight covers? The information on the topic!

Just change the color? Tuning even without buying a new part right away, that's exactly what everyone wants. And if you don't want to buy a whole headlight right away, you can simply have a custom-fit cover made for it. And if you don't have two left hands, you can even assemble it yourself in just a few seconds. Such a cover is available in trendy colors or in simple black. It's like a new set of rims. The headlight cover gives a "boring" vehicle a different look. Aaaaaaaaber, there is a lot to consider!

What things should you pay attention to?

Autotuning with headlight covers? The information on the topic!

On the one hand, it is important in which country you live. Because the TÜV understandably does not approve such a headlight cover in this country. And that also applies to completely new headlights that shine in a different color (more information is available here HERE). Such a cover may ONLY be used for show purposes (photo shoots, tuning meetings, etc.) and under no circumstances be used on public roads. The covers reduce the lighting effect of the headlights extremely.

No matter which variant! If that is clear, then you should find out about the availability for your own vehicle (Unfortunately, there is not a suitable headlight cover for all cars). However, there are sufficient options for the popular models from Audi, BMW, VW, Opel, Seat, Hyundai, Toyota, Ford, Skoda, Mini and Mercedes. Then you should consider what color the headlight cover should have. Once the color has been determined, there are still fine adjustments to be made, depending on the provider, whether it is matt, glossy, only slightly tinted, or with a strong color change. There are almost no limits!

Where can I get a quality selection?

In various online shops on the net, but also at one or the other local tuner, there is a large selection! And finally ... Anyone who wants to give their favorite sheet metal a new, attractive look for the upcoming tuning meeting and doesn't want to spend a fortune should think about such a headlight cover. As with the rims, headlights of a different color give the car a completely new look.

The procedure for the subject of headlight covers:

  • Select cover from the provider for the corresponding vehicle
  • Select colour, material etc
  • It is best to clean and dry the headlights beforehand
  • open the hood
  • Attach cover according to instructions
    – Do not glue the headlight cover
    – Do not use force to press down the headlight cover
    – do not remove any OEM protective strips
  • Close the bonnet again
  • enjoy optics
  • Uuuuuuuuand: don't drive around with it on the road 😉
