I'm pretty sure he said "BS g35" as in Brilliant Silver g35. I can't recall ever seeing a black housing headlight on a BS sedan. I've seen it on a white sedan though, and it looked really nice. I wish I had saved a pic, the image was on some japanese site featuring modded G35/Skyline cars in Japan.

The link doesn't work anymore, but it was something like:

I have seen it in person before and it looks way better! Just don't do flat black, make sure and do gloss or semi-gloss.

A guy at my work with a BS sedan did his in flat black and they did not look good. He changed them to gloss and they look great.

The other option is to have Sherwin Williams or some other automotive paint supply make you a can of matching paint to do them BS.

Are those the ebay lights? The flat black doesn't look BAD, but I think they would be nicer if they were gloss too.

Man, I really have to get some pics up. I just finished my projector/halo/blacked out housing on my BS sedan. If I post some of my dirty car, promise you guys won't make fun of me...

well my main reason to black out the lights cause i was thinking the angel eyes will reflect better with the black housing. if i leave them stock would the angel eyes still look as bright. i know prob a newb question but hey not afraid to admit i am a newb

i might just go that route. my cousins ownes a body shop and he has an account with sherman williams for all his paint. he done little jars of touch up paint for me. maybe i'll just have him mix some up. u think BS would look good in the inside? might be worth a shot.

You might want to look into X-Vert's work then as he does headlights around our areas [noticed your in jersey, he's in Brooklyn]. Turn-around time is really good and the quality is great. Plus he guarantees his work.
