Hello fans
I have a 2007 Matrix and I want to change the headlights to maybe a 07 Corolla that has led running lights, is that possible?
What can I do to customize 2007 Matrix headlights to have led running lights or even halos or angel eyes

Oh I see
How can I make a 2007 matrix with automatic to have 350hp and make it a daily driver?
LS swap.

In order to install aftermarket lighting in your headlamp you need to put it in an oven so that you can remove the lens as the heat will make it easier.

Ok cool I got it, stick it in the oven to make custom headlights

If I change the motor to a Xrs 2zz-gte and the transmission to stick can I make 350hp and what would I need to make that happen?
If I buy the whole awd system from the matrix and put it my matrix how would that work and is it possible?
What kind of suspension would I need for the 2zz engine to make 350hp
What do I need to make 350 from a 2zz engine and how much? I'm very interested to power the matrix and save the manual

Leave the matrix stock except for the aesthetic things you want to do. If you’re unfamiliar with how to disassemble headlights, then tackling an awd conversion and achieving 350hp (which is a totally random number) is not something you should do. That’s not meant as a dig, and the general advice is to not have a project vehicle that’s also your daily driver. Buy something else to spend your money on, and if you want lots of power, buy something that already has lots of power.

Ok cool thanks for the heads up
I just like the matrix and people underestimate it and the 2zz engine is as good or better then the Honda s2000 motor
I want to be different and have power in a matrix
I'm ok being a fwd and I've seen videos were people put turbos and superchargers on that motor and they rev limit is 8 to 10rpm and pushing
I've seen matrix with 2zz with a turbo smoke an Honda SI and subarus and evos and I'm like what really wow
I guess I'm ok with having 250 to 280hp or close to 300hp and still use it and a daily
I appreciate the advice
I'll use my matrix as a project and probably get a subaru outback

What do you recommend as a hatchback that is tall and big trunk and with 250hp reliable engine that can make 300hp to 400hp and still use it as a daily
