hi peoples

just wondering... i've seen some TL and the TW series with the colour coded headlights.

They do look good don't they?

how do i get my hands on them? can they be pulled apart to be painted?

i cant seem to find anything on how to get that look

The colour coded headlights were introduced in the TL VR-X Limited Edition like my old car, and then the TW all had coloured headlights. The Verada also had chromed ones rather than the colour, not sure if that was in the KL veradas or only KW

The trick would be to find some second hand but probably not cheap from wreckers. You could disassemble them to paint them but would take quite a lot of time, but doable.

Not sure if there are any guides on the forums but usually you have to put them in the oven to heat the glue and separate them.

As above, they were in the VRX and then all TW had them
