• Headlights use modern projector technology that offers a wider, more usable beam pattern, a bright focal point, and sharp low beam cutoff to prevent blinding oncoming traffic. For more info on this, click here.
• Modular design that allows for customization of style and features.
• Real glass lenses.
• Compact designs that are meant to fit with as little vehicle modification as possible.
• Serviceable bulbs.
• Plug-and-play design.
• 5 year warranty on most components.
• Built in the USA

• Bulb choice will have a significant impact on headlight performance. The recommended choice typically depends on customer needs and budget. The 30 Watt LED is the best for performance. For the V1, V2 and 6x7 Headlights, the best performing optic type will be the 35w HID bulbs. For more info, see our Optic Type page.
• Housing color and glass type have do not have any effect on performance, they are purely aesthetic preferences.
• Halos will differ in quality, price, and features, but some also have drastically different appearances. For more information on halos, click here.

The first key factor is to make sure you are looking at the correct size light. You can use the Year Make Model search, or reach out to us if you are unsure of the size.

Dapper Lighting headlights are design to fit most vehicles without issue. However, due to the optical constraints of full size projectors, some models require extra depth. Please refer to the Specifications tab on the product page, or you can check our Fitment Page for more information.

• All headlights will include adapter harnesses to plug to the customer’s factory headlight wiring.
• Some optional accessories, such as halos, will require some additional wiring. We have video guides on our Youtube to help with the installation, as well as installation guides on the product pages.
• Warning: If you are not experienced with automotive electrical work, it is strongly advised to seek the assistance of a professional before proceeding. Working with vehicle electrical systems can be complex and potentially hazardous. Incorrect installation or handling of components may result in damage to your vehicle, personal injury, or even fire risk. Always prioritize safety and consult with a qualified technician if you have any doubts or concerns.

A "halo" is a name to describe an LED ring inside a light. In a headlight, it is separate from the low beam and high beam functions. They can come in different colors, but are often used in White or Amber.

• As mentioned above, halos will require some additional wiring. We have video guides on our Youtube to help with the installation, as well as installation guides on the product pages.
• Note: almost all halos REQUIRE a driver to function. Not using a driver can permanently damage the halo.

• Note: almost all halos REQUIRE a driver to function. Not using a driver can permanently damage the halo.
• For single color or white/amber switchback halos, each mode on the halo uses power and ground. Many customers will choose control the halos by tapping into either ignition (so the halos come on when the car starts), parking lights (halos turn on with parking lights), or they run a dedicated circuit to a switch inside the cabin. A crucial part of this step is to correctly identify your factory wires if you will be tapping into them as the halos will not turn on if the wiring is reversed.
• For RGB (multi-color) halos, they MUST also have a controller (in order to control color selection). The halos will require 12V ignition, ground, and turn signal input (if you want to use the blinking amber "Switchback" function). Check out our Youtube halo wiring video guides for more info.

• Simple Sequential tail lights include one sequential sequence. Advanced tail lights will have multiple (depending on model, the quantity listed on the product page).
• Advanced Sequential tail light kits are design to plug into the factory bulb socket. Simple Sequential kits are spliced in.
• Both kits are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Unless it specifically states that the housing is included on the product page, the tail light kits are designed to be installed inside your existing tail light housings and housings/lenses are not included.

• A flasher module(relay) is what controls the flashing sequence of your turn signals. The original modules typically do not work with LED replacement lights. If you have not replaced your flasher module with one that is LED-compatible, it is extremely likely that you will need to do so.
• If your vehicle is equipped with turn signals ONLY(mid-60s and older), you need just one flasher module. If your vehicle is equipped with turn signals AND 4-way hazard flashers (typically mid-60s and newer), you will need two flasher modules for everything to work correctly.
• Most domestic classic cars will have the flasher module(s) located near the fuse panel, however, we advise looking at a service manual for your specific vehicle.

Dapper Lighting headlights are offered with a variety of options that leads to an almost infinite number of combinations. We custom build every kit so that you can get the exact performance and style you need for your build.

The build process involves parts preparation, cleaning, gluing with high grade automotive adhesive, and finally, curing. Once the lights are fully cured and looking beautiful, they enter the warehouse to be tested, packed up safely, and shipped.

Due to the volume of orders at any given time, and the natural build time of every order, we ask that customers be patient as their custom order makes their way through the process. All orders with an associated email will receive a tracking number once the lights are ready for shipment.

If you are looking for a more precise lead time estimate, please contact us.

At Dapper Lighting we do our best to fulfill new orders in the order they are received. In some cases, we may be able to process an expedited order with an additional fee. Please contact us with any expedite requests.

• Some cars will run into alignment tab issues when installing our lights (typically 60’s GM, but can vary). This is due to slight changes in the sealed beam standard design.
• The alignment tabs are designed to be modified if need be; they can shave the alignment tab that doesn’t line up and everything will install. Important note: shaving tabs does not void the customer’s warranty. Please double check that the lights are correctly oriented before removing any alignment tabs. We have had customers where the headlight bucket was incorrectly installed upside down or off-center. Always double check your bucket orientation prior to any modifications.

• In the case of all our LED equipped headlights, they draw significantly less power than the factory headlights and are safer on your wiring and switches over stock. On a properly functioning vehicle there is rarely a need for a relay harness when using our LED headlights.
• Any headlights equipped with either halogen or HID bulbs will draw a significant amount of power and we do recommend using a relay harness in these instances. We also recommend relay harnesses for cars that choose to still run factory sealed beam headlights.

• All of our headlights are designed to work with the factory switches/controls.
• For vehicles that have 4 headlights, our 4 headlight kits are set up in the same low beam/high beam configuration as the factory lights, so the lights will function exactly the same as factory, unless you opt for the bi-led option, in which case any necessary adapters are supplied.

When a headlight is stuck in high beam, it usually means that the car is leaving as little as 1 volt of power on the high beam pin of the H4 connector. This wouldn’t trigger any issues with sealed beam lights because they draw so much power, but the high/low shutter in our lights doesn’t need much power to stay activated. Typically, this issue can be traced to a bad ground or a faulty high beam switch in the car itself. In rare cases, a customer could receive a faulty PCU adapter harness, and the troubleshooting method would be used to determine that.
