You can go with my standard 6/10 tint or lighter 3/10. Or maybe try my new gtr style headlight overlay in black .

actually i like the look of painting the housings...so just wondeing what type of paint to use..if not i'll probably be looking at the 6/10 tint...not a fan of the GTR overlays...they look great on the coupe because of the flush housings..but a lil akward on the sedan...

thanks anyway Bat...

..just wondering if you could PM me how much 6/10 full smoked tail lights shipped to Toronto, Ontario for a coupe would be..

Do gloss black, that's what mine are on my OB from when I did my quad projector mod. I had Sherwin Williams match the oem color (KH3) in spray cans.

Gloss black... Gloss should give a nice reflection which will make it look better

Paint looks soo much cleaner and does not take away from light output.

Go gloss black! It looks real nice. That is what I plan on doing.

Caskyline, They came out really good. A little off-topic but I will be in touch within the next couple weeks in regards to the front grille!!

Has any one painted their Headlight housing a color other then black, to match their car color. Kinda like the deal with the new corvettes.

If I was going to go this route, I would def get it painted over the overlays.

No kidding! I've never seen that done (other than ttranks projector mod). That silver coupe looks sweet!!! 100x better than the overlay look IMO.
