so i finally decided to got around to painting my headlight housings black today. ive been wanting to do it since the day i bought the car, and luckily i had a free day today and didnt feel like sitting around. overall, it took me about 5 hours to do. it was a lot easier than i thought it would be. let me know what you guys think! ill have some better pics up soon







and one shot of the rear wheel stance for fun

 

What did you paint them with? How's the light output at night?

The output should be the same as the reflectors are left in tact.

Looks good Nat. I like how you decided to keep the bezel for the turn signal chrome to change it up a bit from the rest. You ever consider clearing the turn signal lense?

 

Looks good! Looks a lot like mine. I like how you left the signals chrome. First time I've seen that. Nice work!

 

thanks man. im glad i kept the turn signal bezel chrome as it added some contrast to the housing instead of having it all black. as for clearing the turn signal lense, i was never a fan of it, so i just kept it stock.

 

Did you paint just the inside housing, or did you paint the lens? Or, did you already have overlays on the lens and just paint the housing?

I was referring to whatever you did to the lens. If those are just overlays, disregard my question...

-Jerome

 

I need to do this ! what paint did you use, and how did you seperate your lens from the housing and then reseal it ?

 

This should save Nat from having to answer all the questions

im not too sure what youre asking, but all i did was paint the inside housing. nothing was done to the lens

 

new pics added to first post!

 

Nevermind. It was just the lighting in the first group of pictures. It had me thinking that you painted the lens. Haha.

My bad.

 

they look great

 

dammnn looks really good!!! wanna help me with mine??

 

Looks great, Nat! i say you do an emblemless grill and paint it silver to match the wheels. I'm in the middle of doing that to my stock grill right now
