hey i've been looking all over the web for headlights with black housing for my 07 sedan. i cant find anything..

any ideas...??

 

There's none (unless you get the new 2010 G37S ones and do a front end conversion)
Most of us are cracking the headlights open and painting the housings black.

Custom job :-)

 

Yup...DIY. And sooooo totally worth the effort!

 

Yeah Black housing headlight LOOK GREAT on the lighter color Gs! Especially white ones. The darker colors are nice too but not as good as light colors.

 

are there instructions or illustrations of this anywhere.? has any one taken pics? how big of a project would i be undertaking?

 

basically you have to remove the front bumper and the 10 or so screws. then remove the 3 bolts holding the headlight on. remove the electrical connections and take the bulbs out. bake the headlight for 12 min at 200 degrees in an oven. remove the small screws around the back edge of the light housing. then begin to pry it open. now remove the chrome bezel from inside and paint them up. I went with gloss black and a clear coat.

this is exactly what i'm looking for. i dont think i wanna undertake a project like this on my own quite yet,, besides i dont have any tools.

anybody in los angeles do this??

 

To be sure, it is a pain and there is headache potential if you scratch up your car or don't seal up the headlights properly.

 

Yea I really want to do this as well but dont feel as inclined, to worried about messing something up and then paying for it big time.

Mike I saw your page love your car and what you've done with it, looks nice. Good job on the HL too.

Anyone in the greater Orlando area do stuff like this.

IGOR u need to take a trip to FL...

 

LOL Only time I'll take a trip to FL is for a vacay, but now.. that's outta the question with your oil infested beaches.

Come take a trip to NYC... at least we got clean beaches
