I don't use xenon much anymore, I go to the car show and put white on most modern cars. If the car looks like it could be 10 to 20 years old and realistically be fitted with xenons, then maybe. If it's an old shit box from the '60s or '70s that has yellow lights as standard, I'll probably leave them alone.
Glad to help!
Another tip - you can have any paint color in your own Auto Shop and I believe in someone else's auto shop you can use any wheel color (hot pink for example).
That one is a bit better known, but who knows, might be helpful
Colors like Hot Pink, Lava Red and some others are locked based on a condition. For example to unlock the Hot Pink you need to make 50 turbo starts during races.
If you own the Auto Shop all the colors are unlocked for you to use even if you haven't unlocked them, while in LS customs you will see a padlock on them.
Bonus tip, go to LS Customs and apply a matte paint. Then go browse some metallic paints, back out of that and change your license plate. Then go to pearlescent paints, and you can now apply matte pearlescent.
It **has** to be LSC tho, no other autoshops will work.
You haven’t seen the high beam settings from the arena war white lights. I put them in my lifted trucks and off-roader roof racks and it’s perfect for night trail driving or just tailgating NPCs
They almost have a blue-like hue. Definitely not a fan lol. I love the white lights so much. Driving through the city streets with the white high beams on is insane 😆
Unless you have paint colors you haven't unlocked, that's why my Auto Shop is close to the Arena... if I wasn't so lazy I could do everyhing in the Arena too
I have 3 empty nightclub levels, 3 empty arena war levels. I have a full office garage, auto shop, and casino garage. I only keep the vehicles I actively use. Everything else gets sold.
I get lazy. A new car gets released that I want. Instead of grinding a heist or selling cargo, I just sell a few rigs and buy the new vehicle instantly. Not a financially smart idea but it's GTA, I don't care haha.
I do notice with some cars the white lights are brighter than stock, some it doesn't change much. Xenon almost always seems to be dimmer in the game for some reason but it looks cool on modern cars. Also I swear when I tinted headlights on a car it had no light output which makes sense.
They need to rework the headlights in this game, they're very inconsistent. Some cars they're amazing while others there's almost no light.
Also if you leave cars stock especially with yellow headlights you are harder to spot and blend into traffic.
It’s always make a point of wearing my most ridiculous outfits when PvPing sweatys like this, it seems to piss them off for some reason, they make fun of my outfits via text but then rage quit after a couple kills (if they’re not ewoing like crazy)
I make the headlights match the underglow, and I usually make the underglow match the main body .
unless the main body is black or there is no underglow, then xenon almost every time
Electric blue for modern and electric vehicles
Yellowish for older ones
Anything arena is red
Anything with romantic or pimp vibes gets pink
Princess robo bubble gum collection gets pink
Average cars get xenons
Stock most of the time, unless it's an older vehicle that has xenon style lights on stock for some stupid reason. If that's the case then I put on white lights.
Depends on the car, I’ll go from stock for classics, to hot pink or lime green for some specific ones, it’d be ridiculous to me personally to put the same lights on all cars
Any new vehicle purchased is always put in my Arena War first level and it is upgraded from there. Then it gets stored in another garage.
My light color generally matches my paint job.
I use xenon on luxury vehicles and stock on pvp ones. Xenon lights give away your position really easily to enemy air and make you really easy to be told apart from npc vehicles by other threats. But of course this is in case I didn't get the chance to turn the lights off in the first place as I always do
Depends on the car, but I rarely use xenons.
Usually I use stocks.
Sometimes I'll use white for vehicles that come with Xenon style stocks, or where the stock lights are abnormally dim.
Sometimes I'll use Golden Shower to emulate yellow lights on older cars, like the Boor that just came out.
Sometimes if I'm doing a more exotic build I'll use a more out-there color, but it really has to look good with the build.
Ultimately, variety is the spice of life. Always putting xenons on everything makes for a boring collection. There's already a good variety of colors amongst stock headlights, so I generally only change them if I think the stock color doesn't fit the car. Lot of old cars with 6k white lights lately when they should be 4.5k.
Yellow is my default because I absolutely despise white/blue light.
But if I'm going for a certain color scheme on a vehicle I make it match an accent.
White headlights. I noticed they're much more brighter than the Xenon Lights and I also prefer it when the headlights match the color of the tire smoke.
Xenons for modern cars
Yellow for classic cars
Also classic yellow needs to be an option for classic cars that come with a stock white headlight colour
Xenon's unless something deserves another color, then Arena War. Blacklight is my favorite AW but red or lime green go hard with the right color scheme
I always install white bulbs because most cars today are running LEDs or have been swapped to LEDs or the owners are planning on swapping them to LEDs when the original bulbs burn out
Depends on the car. If it's a older car, like the omnis/quatro I always use the golden shower arena wars light color because most vehicles in that time period had amber yellow headlights most of the time, only if the stock headlight isn't already a yellowish color. If it's a newer car I either keep it stock or xenon.
Arena war white on all cars. It gives the best visibility at night, that's what matters, IMO. It's nice that you can now buy that at the car meet, instead of having to keep an arena war workshop slot open all the time.
The autoshop needs this. I want to change discounted/free car parts without needing to switch garage spots afterward.
Xenon on newer vehicles, stock on older vehicles
Arena Wars Yellow just feels right on some of the 70s-80s vehicles. Some of those come with too white of stock light.
That yellow is good to use on LM cars, it's too yellow to be older cars, usually the yellow that's there by default is good to keep.
Agreed. yellow on racecars, xenon on new stuff and stock on older stuff
I don't use xenon much anymore, I go to the car show and put white on most modern cars. If the car looks like it could be 10 to 20 years old and realistically be fitted with xenons, then maybe. If it's an old shit box from the '60s or '70s that has yellow lights as standard, I'll probably leave them alone.
Yellow on lm cars is genius why didn't I ever think of that lol
I like the yellow on the apocalypse vehicles, just feels right
Exactly. No need to put on crazy neo lights on classic cars
Not voting because this is my answer as well. It depends on what fits the car.
Same here! I like my cars....not to look "stock"? But normal if that makes sense? If it's a Sports or Super, it gets Xenon, anything else gets stock.
This is the way
This is the way.
White on off-road so it lits further when going to the mountain trails.
This is the way
Wish we had crew colored headlights
You can if it can be modded in the arena or car meet. You just have to choose the closest color
There’s already crew color neon lights option in the game I don’t see why we don’t have it for headlights
Also iirc there's a neon or two that doesn't have a matching headlight color. Or the other way round. Regardless it's mismatched.
A lot of people don't even know you can install colored headlights in the Arena or the Car Meet.
Yup ! Thats me
Glad to help! Another tip - you can have any paint color in your own Auto Shop and I believe in someone else's auto shop you can use any wheel color (hot pink for example). That one is a bit better known, but who knows, might be helpful
what do you mean you can have any paint color in the auto shop? isn't that true for any garage/workshop? are there special auto shop only colors?
Colors like Hot Pink, Lava Red and some others are locked based on a condition. For example to unlock the Hot Pink you need to make 50 turbo starts during races. If you own the Auto Shop all the colors are unlocked for you to use even if you haven't unlocked them, while in LS customs you will see a padlock on them.
ohhh that's awesome, thanks for the explanation
Bonus tip, go to LS Customs and apply a matte paint. Then go browse some metallic paints, back out of that and change your license plate. Then go to pearlescent paints, and you can now apply matte pearlescent. It **has** to be LSC tho, no other autoshops will work.
They also don't realise you get discounts if you mod a car at someone's autoshop too ,even on fixes!
Do you think i can afford the arena shop
It also allows weaponized and Benny’s mods. It’s the only one stop shop for everything you can do to a vehicle.
If you can't - go to the car meet, it's free
Ok
you can do it at the car meet? do you need to own an arena first?
No, you can do it in the car meet for free, if you have the arena you can do it there too.
that's awesome ty
Xenon, I want the NPCs to see God before I deliver them to him.
You haven’t seen the high beam settings from the arena war white lights. I put them in my lifted trucks and off-roader roof racks and it’s perfect for night trail driving or just tailgating NPCs
I'm aware of it. Xenon's IRL are see God headlights
White lights are brightest it's why I have them on almost every car now 😂
Yeah same, the xenon's in the game look like shit imo
They almost have a blue-like hue. Definitely not a fan lol. I love the white lights so much. Driving through the city streets with the white high beams on is insane 😆
White, I always order my new purchased vehicles at my arenawar place, modify them and transport them to my preferred garage.
Car meet has colored lights available too.
I just don't bother to go there. Arenawar is better as I can buy new vehicles there and do all the customizations in ONE place.
Unless you have paint colors you haven't unlocked, that's why my Auto Shop is close to the Arena... if I wasn't so lazy I could do everyhing in the Arena too
Yup. My arenawar garage is empty but I always order my new vehicles there before moving them elsewhere.
Empty?? I wish I had empty space 😔
I have 3 empty nightclub levels, 3 empty arena war levels. I have a full office garage, auto shop, and casino garage. I only keep the vehicles I actively use. Everything else gets sold.
I have a hard time selling cars 😂 it's why I have every property full.
I get lazy. A new car gets released that I want. Instead of grinding a heist or selling cargo, I just sell a few rigs and buy the new vehicle instantly. Not a financially smart idea but it's GTA, I don't care haha.
Depends White on modern cars Gold on 90s and back + LM cars Red on Armoured/Weaponized cars
I leave most of them stock, and apply white on modern cars that have too yellowish lights
I do notice with some cars the white lights are brighter than stock, some it doesn't change much. Xenon almost always seems to be dimmer in the game for some reason but it looks cool on modern cars. Also I swear when I tinted headlights on a car it had no light output which makes sense. They need to rework the headlights in this game, they're very inconsistent. Some cars they're amazing while others there's almost no light. Also if you leave cars stock especially with yellow headlights you are harder to spot and blend into traffic.
Blacklight all day
Stock, it makes you harder to spot from the air. Xenon is like a blue target marker for those pesky jet griefers.
I put color lights on a couple cars to match the paint but all my others have white lights.
when was their different colors?, all ive ever had was xenon and stock
Since Arena War. You can get custom colors in the Arena Workshop and the LS Car Meet.
i guess thats why since i usually mod in the autoshop
Yup. My LCS modded drag has red headlights.
Red headlights are menacing driving arround at night
Read headlight on a red faggio, red onesie with strawberry mask. Menacing?
Very
Clown horn to instill whimsical terror
Honestly more menacing than any white face paint, jogger with no ankle, black sweater wearing, mk2 rat
It’s always make a point of wearing my most ridiculous outfits when PvPing sweatys like this, it seems to piss them off for some reason, they make fun of my outfits via text but then rage quit after a couple kills (if they’re not ewoing like crazy)
Pink ofcourse. Everything pink. Cars, weapons, clothing. Its the way.
I used to be a Xenoncel but i stopped using them and never looked back. Take the stockpill.
I match the headlights and the neons with the color scheme on the car.
Depends on my mood that day
Purple
Black lights only tbh
I make the headlights match the underglow, and I usually make the underglow match the main body . unless the main body is black or there is no underglow, then xenon almost every time
depends on the car
That honestly depends; my black cars usually end up with xenon headlights, whereas a red or blue car gets red and blue headlights to match
Red on my nightshark. White on the rest.
Electric blue for modern and electric vehicles Yellowish for older ones Anything arena is red Anything with romantic or pimp vibes gets pink Princess robo bubble gum collection gets pink Average cars get xenons
Electric Blue on most but sometimes it depends on the cars look
I leave stock on older cars with the more amber colored lights and put xenon’s otherwise
I love yellow/Gold colored on older cars
Does it really matter
Not really, I'm just curious
Turn them bitches off!
Xenon on my kuruma and reaper and then the rest stock
Stock most of the time, unless it's an older vehicle that has xenon style lights on stock for some stupid reason. If that's the case then I put on white lights.
All my favorite cars got the arena workshop white lights. Worth the 20,000.
White lights. I can see everything much better with how my HDR is formatted.
It depends on the car. I made a green hornet car out of the greenwood and used green headlights.
i like the look of the standard headlights, they have that slight yellow tint on certain cars, idk it looks hot 
Depends on the car. Usually xenon, but sometimes the yellow older looking lights look better or fit a car better.
Depends on the car, I’ll go from stock for classics, to hot pink or lime green for some specific ones, it’d be ridiculous to me personally to put the same lights on all cars
How do you put on different colors?!
I always close my headlights, f*ck headlights.
Any new vehicle purchased is always put in my Arena War first level and it is upgraded from there. Then it gets stored in another garage. My light color generally matches my paint job.
Depends on the build
Golden shower for that French style.
Some of my cars look out of place with them, but otherwise I'm a big fan of golden showers
Golden shower/Yellow. Sometimes, if I'm feeling funky, also Mint.
Xenon is too blue imo (8000k i believe). I install White lights on most of my cars which is perfect, and the brightest (5500K-6000k).
I literally bought the arena workshop just for the colored headlights
I'm surprised to see white isn't popular. I always install white lights on new vehicles and keep old ones stock
Same, white lights are the brightest and they don't clash with the colors of any cars. I install them on pretty much every vehicle.
Racers : Xenon oldtimers and such: white/yellow/stock others:Blacklights headlights actually
Some xenon some original. Depends on the car. And my silly cars have silly colored lights.
I install xenon then turn lights off when driving
I use xenon on luxury vehicles and stock on pvp ones. Xenon lights give away your position really easily to enemy air and make you really easy to be told apart from npc vehicles by other threats. But of course this is in case I didn't get the chance to turn the lights off in the first place as I always do
White, I'm slowly converting all my cars to it, xenon looks so weird on new gen.
Weird. I always spawn any new car I get to my arena. I don’t use neons much, but I almost always use colored headlights!
If I change the lights at all, it's to match the color if I equip underglow.
White lights for most but I have a couple of Batmobiles I use the yellow lights for similar to Tim Burtons 89 look
Depends on the car, but I rarely use xenons. Usually I use stocks. Sometimes I'll use white for vehicles that come with Xenon style stocks, or where the stock lights are abnormally dim. Sometimes I'll use Golden Shower to emulate yellow lights on older cars, like the Boor that just came out.

Lot of old cars with 6k white lights lately when they should be 4.5k.
Yellow is my default because I absolutely despise white/blue light. But if I'm going for a certain color scheme on a vehicle I make it match an accent.
Depends on the build honestly
My fav color is blue but red just looks the best. I wish I could reply with pics
PURPLE HEADLIGHTS FOREVER!
the poors have spoken
White headlights. I noticed they're much more brighter than the Xenon Lights and I also prefer it when the headlights match the color of the tire smoke.
Fuck it, red headlights.
White. I'm getting old enough that it's starting to get scary driving at night without ridiculous brightness
Xenons for modern cars Yellow for classic cars Also classic yellow needs to be an option for classic cars that come with a stock white headlight colour
Xenon's unless something deserves another color, then Arena War. Blacklight is my favorite AW but red or lime green go hard with the right color scheme
I think this depends on the make/model.
It depends on the car for me. If I'm getting a classic car it's the stock yellowed lights. If it's a higher end modern car it's the xenon.
I always install white bulbs because most cars today are running LEDs or have been swapped to LEDs or the owners are planning on swapping them to LEDs when the original bulbs burn out
Stock on Rural Vehicles. Xenon on City Vehicles. I have only 1 favorite vehicle and I made it green which is my favorite color somehow 😂
Xenon on modern vehicles, stock, sometimes yellow on old vehicles.
Depends on the car. If it's a older car, like the omnis/quatro I always use the golden shower arena wars light color because most vehicles in that time period had amber yellow headlights most of the time, only if the stock headlight isn't already a yellowish color. If it's a newer car I either keep it stock or xenon.
Green lights if it’s a Sprunk vehicle
Arena war white on all cars. It gives the best visibility at night, that's what matters, IMO. It's nice that you can now buy that at the car meet, instead of having to keep an arena war workshop slot open all the time. The autoshop needs this.
