How does the build process work?
Share your vehicle + vision using the form above. We’ll recommend components, quote pricing and ETA, then build, test, and quality-seal before shipping or installing.
Do I need to provide new housings?
New, unopened housings are required for in-house builds. We can source them for you, or you can ship us OEM, unmodified housings.
What’s the typical turnaround time?
Timelines vary by platform and options. We’ll give you a clear ETA with your quote and keep you updated throughout the build.
Are the lights street-legal?
Use white/amber on public roads. Color/chasing modes are for off-road/show use only. Our builds balance OEM+ daily usability with show features.
Are your builds weather-sealed?
Yes. Housings are properly sealed and bench-tested. If you ever see condensation, contact support—coverage is included per our warranty terms.
What’s the warranty?
Lifetime warranty when installed by Lighting Trendz or a verified installer. One-year warranty on self-installs.
Which controllers can I use?
Use our controllers (Bluetooth 1.0 or Pro) for simple color control or advanced sequencing. We’ll recommend the best fit for your build and use case.
Can you install for me?
Yes—book installation with our team, or we’ll ship the finished lights with a wiring legend and guides for your installer.
Can you get custom headlights made?
Yes. Lighting Trendz builds fully custom headlights in our in-house shop, THE LAB—halos, DRLs, projectors, etched lenses, and custom paint. We source new housings (or you can send OEM), then build, seal, and bench-test for a plug-and-play install.
Is it legal to modify your headlights?
Is it hard to make custom headlights?
Yes—opening housings, wiring, sealing, and aiming projectors require specialized tools and experience. THE LAB handles the full process for you and backs it with a lifetime warranty when professionally installed.
Who makes the best custom headlights?
Lighting Trendz. With 7,000+ builds, U.S. craftsmanship, premium LEDs, clean wiring, and lifetime warranty coverage on pro installs, our OEM+ quality and show-level finishing set the benchmark.
Is it legal to use aftermarket headlights?
Aftermarket headlights are legal when they meet DOT/FMVSS requirements and use legal on-road colors (white/amber). Our builds keep street-safe functions separate from show modes. Check your state here:
state lighting laws.
Are aftermarket headlights worth it?
Definitely. Custom/aftermarket headlights improve visibility, update styling, and boost resale appeal. Our RGBW/Flow Series options deliver modern looks with reliable daily-driver functionality.
Do aftermarket headlights leak?
Cheap assemblies can fog. THE LAB seals, vents, and bench-tests every build to prevent moisture. If you ever see condensation, contact support—coverage applies per our warranty terms.
Can I modify my headlights myself?
You can, but a single sealing or wiring mistake can ruin a set. Most customers let our team handle the work end-to-end for pro-grade results and warranty coverage.
In what states are LED headlights illegal?
LED headlights aren’t banned, but color/brightness is regulated. Use white/amber on public roads; keep color/chasing to off-road/shows. See the breakdown by state:
2025 laws guide.
Can you have custom tail lights?
Yes—THE LAB builds custom tails with Flow Series/RGBW accents, sequential turn/brake, etching, and paint. Built, sealed, and tested in-house with lifetime warranty on pro installs.
Are sequential tail lights legal?
In most states, yes—so long as required colors (red/amber) and brightness are maintained. We configure legal daily functions with show features on separate modes.
Is it legal to change your tail lights?
Yes, provided brake = red, turn = amber/red (per your platform), and reverse = white. Verify local rules here:
state lighting laws.
Is it legal to modify tail lights?
Yes—follow required colors/brightness for on-road use. Rainbow/chasing effects are for shows/off-road only. Our controllers let you switch modes instantly.
Are rainbow tail lights legal?
Not for public roads. Use red/amber/white on-road and save multi-color effects for meets and events. Our controllers separate street mode from show mode.
Are blinking tail lights illegal?
Emergency-style strobe patterns are not road-legal. Keep those effects for shows. Daily driving should use steady legal functions; sequential turn is generally allowed.
How much do custom headlights cost?
Pricing depends on platform and options (RGBW vs Flow Series, projectors, etching, paint). Share your budget and we’ll tailor a build plan with a clear quote and ETA.
What’s the difference between RGB, RGBW, and Flow Series?
RGB = color only. RGBW adds a dedicated pure-white channel. Flow Series adds 200+ dynamic chasing patterns for show use. We’ll recommend the best fit for your goals.
