DIY black housings

Well, finally did 'em, beacuse I screwed up one of my headlights and it was condensing, so I had to open 'em up anyway. I used low-gloss black engine paint and covered up the spots with regular masking tape, and any overspray I cleaned up with a paper towel and choke cleaner. Didn't take too long, and only like 2 good coats of paint are needed. Make sure to clean the lenses thoroughly inside and out.

That part on the right side of the main light, is that not paintable? I ask you cuz you had it all open. Can it be painted with extreme care cuz that would make it look alot better? But yours look very nice and that is what i want to do to mine along with clearing them and installing the legal orange bulb.

I did my lights also, but in white, since my baby is white. I'll try to get pics.

yea, the right side is paintable, probably, but i think it might affect the brightness of my headlight [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] i'd rather not risk that.


keep it to a select few - [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

well, if anyone wants to be "select" just PM me for help. i know not alot of people are willing to risk doing this.
