does anyone know if the anni lights are any different or are they just oem ones with the rim round the outside sprayed black? is it possible to mod standard gti ones? thanks
-
yeah its just the backing is black, you can mod themn your self its called the 'joey mod' if you do a search shoudl find soem results, i quite like the look of the smoked ones on SWGmotorsport :smiley:

Be careful doing the joey mod as its not as simple as it looks and you can easily f**k up for lights :(

Joey mod on OEM headlights is hard because the glue is stronger, which may result in you breaking the glass :sad:

it's not the backing part that's black, it's the ring that sits in the lens.
Joey modding is very hard on OEM lights, most people end up smashing their glass, spraying the ring black then getting a spare set of lenses from another set of lights (ie smash the back part up to get the lenses off) and putting them back together
It's a good option if you can get a spare set for peanuts...
