These custom "Angry Eye" headlight kits take the personality of your vehicle to the next level. These kits often feature running RGB lights that create an animated effect, making it look like your car is glaring down the road with an aggressive stare.

Suffice it to say, if I saw a LandCruiser with these headlights in my rearview mirror there's a high chance I’d start praying and repenting for my sins.

DIY Magic

For the hands-on enthusiast, DIY animated turn signal kits offer a chance to truly personalise a vehicle. These custom-built signals can display dynamic, flowing light patterns, adding a touch of elegance and high-tech flair to any turn signal. It's a fun and creative way to enhance a vehicle's functionality and style.

Lucas Builds Stuff on YouTube developed his panel-style headlights using a 3D scanner and printer to fit colour-changing headlights to his Chevrolet Silverado in time for a car show. The results are mesmerising.

Controlled via a smartphone app, the driver can select and customise their light display.

Beauty is in the detail

One of the most detail driven headlight designs we've seen comes from Azc Car Style in Turkey who rebuilt his Ford Focus custom headlights by hand.

The attention to detail is unmatched and watching through the video shows the sheer amount of work put into this build.

If you've got the time and energy, a project like this could take up quite a few hours over the holidays.

From computer imaging, cutting, welding, heating, glueing, drawing, shaving, spraying and all the electrical work involved, there's not a lot of craft that hasn't been put into these custom pieces of art

Angel Eyes

Halo ring headlights, also known as "Angel Eyes," are a type of automotive lighting that adds a distinctive ring of light around the main headlight beam.

They were first introduced by BMW in the late 1990s and have since become popular in car customisation for their stylish and modern appearance.

Angel eyes are available in various colours and can be installed as an aftermarket customisation to give vehicles a unique and eye-catching look.

For those in Queensland, Dan's Custom Car Lights can install your custom halo ring headlights and more. If you're not in the state, you can have them shipped to your door, along with a range of custom light options like door lights and underbody lighting.

(Note that under ADR regulations, all these options are actually illegal for road use, but we can still appreciate them anyways.)
