When you have chosen your next stylish car and thinking about customizing it in your own way, you need to know about the basic types of custom headlights of cars. You may come across "Projector style", "Halo style", "LED style", "Euro style" and so on. Now, all of it may sound baffling to you as the names may suggest something but it can be equipped with some other features too.

So, to make it easier for you here are a few types of custom lighting for your car that you might consider while installing them.

Euro Style Headlight Assembly

A "Euro headlight" assembly is a term for a custom headlamp assembly that features a flush, aerodynamic glass surface instead of fixed-shape sealed beam lamps. This style has been predominant in Europe since 1950.It traced its footstep in the USA from 1984. Interestingly, the first U.S.-model production vehicle to feature them was the '84 Lincoln Mark VII. It was closely followed by other early adopters of the trend like, the 1985 Toyota Camry & Cressida, Nissan Maxima, and all editions of Audis. By the end of 1986 these headlights became a trend. But since 1990, there was no notable change in the design apart from the glass.

But with the advent and increasing popularity of projector lights, the manufacturers of euro lights started to get influenced by the modern technology and frosted glass covers were replaced by the clear plastic ones. Euro lights don’t offer the features like LED, Projector or Halo Rings. That is why they offer the best value to those who are looking for a way to perk up the look without too much expense.

Projector Beam Headlight Assembly

The frosted glassstarted being replaced by the clear glass and multi faceted projector beams. Popularly used in Volkswagen, these stylish round cutouts for headlights came into prominence quite early. Inside each assembly, one glass ball serves as the projector for the main headlight, and similar-looking round cutouts surround it. Turn signals, parking lights, and DRLs typically use traditional bulbs.Round cutouts, framed by halo lights also create quite adistinct style. If you are an owner of an old car you will be happy to use these lights as they will give a beautiful new touch to your classic.

Halo Lights

Pioneered by BMW, these Halo custom headlights for cars are the most popular one these days. The main light is encircled by a ring of light. This feature makes these lights really unique. LED bulbs and CCFL can be used as the source of illumination in the lights.

Custom lighting for car is supposed to polish up the design of the car itself. It is an accessory that shows not only just class but your personal taste as well. So, choose the right one and let your automobile make a glamorous style statement like never before.
