Rep Power: 310

so next weekend i'm thinking about blacking out my headlights.
i want to know what looks better on a silver car, fully blacked out with turn signals, or everything blacked out except the area behind the turn signals...

examps....

fully blacked out...


partially...

it depends. with a cf hood it looks better all blacked out, imo. without a cf hood, everything but the parking and turn signals. just like in the two pics you posted.

without orange turns....





oh and i'm also going to be putting on orange sidemarkers in the near future.... CF hood is a possibilty also

Black it out, leave the reflectors in, and you know the little circle part - mask that off.

Personally I'd rather gunmetal than black on a silver car...

Paint it with flat black. I have a set of sedan lights blacked out with turn signal and parking light chrome. $75 shipped

If done with care the headlights won't chip or fog up. There are several excellent DIY's floating around the site (including one by yours truly)....search around, headlight clearing/painting is dead easy.

oven is so easy. Stick in to heat em up at 250F for 5 mins, pull em apart with gloves, then use the same way to reseal.

what??? put them in the oven???? that seems crazy?? is that to black them out or clear them??

 
Rep Power: 812

for both. it works trust me and really easy. I just did my fourth set a week or two ago.

how does it work if your wanting to clear them?

 
Rep Power: 812

the oven is used to open the two halves of the headlight. Then there's a chrome insert held on by screws. Take that out and then the amber piece pops off.

ok i get that part, But how do i re seal them good, just like they were stock

i would say black out the headlights but leave the turn signals and parking lights untouched..that looks tight!

 
Rep Power: 0

isnt the turn signal and parking lights the same thing?

 
Rep Power: 310

thats starting to sound good to me. i'm probably going to do that

 
Rep Power: 0

might just be the getin thing to do, but where do you paint them? on the inside or outside?

 
Rep Power: 0

Not sure if you posted some that look like this. I like how mine are painted the best, at least with my car, IMO! If I get a cf hood, it will still match nicely like this. Enjoy. I did these a few weeks ago.

personally, i think blackout projector lights look better,..not as cheap....but just my opinion

caulk.
Projector light output with stock lenses and HID's < OEM housings and HID's light output.
