Headlight Customization/Restoration

xander_g · 10-26-2017, 10:01 AM

Hey, I would like to have my headlights customized as well as have the lenses restored or replaced.

I heard good things about oneighty and ossdesigns but they're in the states. Do you know anyone that provides this type of service locally?

Thanks.

Stay away from OSS. Someone just posted their horror story. Just ship your lights to 180, you wont regret it.

oneeighty for sure. I've seen too many guys locally who have OSS and the quality is just terrible. Cables hanging out, slanted rings. Poor paint finish with dust inside the headlight.

There's a local guy too from what I hear. I can't remember the name for the life of me right now.

A local would be ideal. If I was picking a stateside shop, I would go with 180

There's Corsa Design (which is a BMWTN member and sponsor). I'm not a customer nor affiliate, so I can't speak to the quality, just their existence.

I rolled the dice and did OSS. Service was atrocious but the lights look phenomenal.

GTA Retrofits (Google it). Going to send him my headlights, sometime this winter. Official Canadian installer for BavGruppe products.

Never seen his work. Reviews online say a lot.

Check BayOptiks on Instagram. They did my lights and many others. Service is great, and haven't seen a better finished product.
