Blackedout My 04 Headlights.........
what do yall think????

i did them yesterday and finished installing the headlights and bumper this morning. Hardest part was taking the headlight apart, and if your planning on doing them a hairdryer is very very very useful!

HID Hi/Low Beams On







Bumper back on without HID's On

The amber peice snaps out... You can either break it Or do it nice/neat and push the tabs so you can always put it back on.

I dont know if he ended up using flat black... But, Flat black gives a carbon/gunmetal color.. If you want black, I suggest using Glossy Black high temp paint.

Glossy black looks great on an SSM car. There is an 04 member with SSM that has blacked out headlights.

EDIT: Im not trying to be offensive, im just saying...

I love my silverstars, and think HIDs are too expensive for me to lose my high beams..

Hey I'm gonna be paiting my headlights on my 04 as well. Was it hard to get the headlights apart? What did you use to get the epoxy warm enough, bake them? Hair-dryer?

I NEED INFO! I dont wanna screw them up.
