Just did this to my car today... - California Fishing

DementedFish · 05-17-2008, 01:01 AM

Did this to my car today, took a total of two days to do. Anyway, pretty much they're the stock headlights with the black housing painted black. It's a very hard and complicated process which involves removing the front bumper, headlights, and then putting the headlights in the oven to melt the sealant, tearing them apart, and removing the housing section to paint. I'm writing up a DIY guide for another 2 forums I'm on, so when I'm done writing it i'll share it with you guys. Anyway, what do you think?

Tomorrow I'm probably getting my rims black so it will match.

Lol it makes the headlights seem a lot cleaner and gives them a little bit more of an aggressive look. The lights actually come stock like that on the Japanese version of my car, however it costs $350 to buy the authentic ones vs the $11 I had to spend on spray paint.

Ok look closely at the headlights. The housing on the originals is chrome, the housing on the new ones is black.
