Anyone in the Orlando/Kissimmee area good at Blacking out Headlights?

AnointedDC5 · 01-20-2005

Hey guys just wondering if anyone here knows someone or is capable of blacking out a couple sets of headlights 1 for an 02 Civic and the other for an 02 Celica. I know there are DIY guides but we would rather have someone who has some experience with it to do it instead.

Thanks

Are you willing to do it if we meet up? I mean I am sure they wouldn't mind going to Daytona to have it done.

I did it to my 2001 civic when I had it. Don't you remember it? I had a white one and painted the headlights to match. It is sooooooo easy to do. Just stick them in the oven for like a couple of minutes on 250 degrees. Take them out and pry them open. I forgot the name of the tape but its a certain type of tape that doesn't leave sticky stuff behind. Just cover what you don't want painted with tape and newspaper. Primer the lights real good, let it dry a couple of hours, then paint away. Use two coats of paint and it should be all good.

Make sure you give a few hours or preferrebly over night to dry. Then stick them in the oven for a couple of minutes again at 250 to make the seal real soft. Clamp the lights together and let it dry for a couple of hours with clamps holding the light together. If you made sure it sealed correctly, you shouldn't have any fogging at all.

P.S. I won't do it because I get nervous working on other people's cars thinking I will mess up. So I don't want to risk it.

Talk to AZNCDN on ClubRSX in the Florida section...I'm sure he could help you out.

^And I believe the tape is painter's masking tape...

I thought he (AZNCDN) had projector headlights I didn't know he blacked any lights out

I did mine, it's just kinda a pain with all the taping off and shit... and like pipelayer said i don't like working on other people's cars because i don't wanna mess something up on someone else's car.. i can only do that to mine without feeling bad instead i get pissed at myself

Just let me know when we could meet up to do this also do you think you could do the same for some 02 Celica lights.

02civic_rida · 01-21-2005

hum.... most likely.... ive never done em for any car but mine, but most likely they are all about the same....

02civic_rida · 01-28-2005

well just wanted to do an update for those who care.... here are the headlights... i'll tell ya waht, the celica headlights where the biggets pain in my rear, but none the less they turned out real good i think.....

as for the civic headlights, im more of a fan of doing them with the amber in, but this kid wanted them to look just like the after market ones.... so thats what i did....

02civic_rida · 01-29-2005

TheSmuggler · 01-29-2005

It's 50 dollars for 1 set of headlights...
