Amber looks pretty..

So after Ive chilled out from my I Give Up.. rant, im taking things one step at a time. Tomorrow I get my new minty fresh OEM headlights and the blackout will begin this weekend.. but ive got something on my mind thats been itching me since the first time..

Re: Amber looks pretty..

DSKJGFASF lol....i cant make up my minddd....after the first time i did them, ive wanted to make them chrome.. the only reason theyre blacked out now is because I accidently started sanding down under the amber peice, i duno why i even took it out instead of masking it off and then im liek oh ****....so i had to black it out or it woudlve looked f'd up... now im indecisive (sp?)...

Re: Amber looks pretty..

I say leave it chrome, btw what color is your car, i dont remember. it depends on the car in some ways, try to find cars that looks similar to yours, with chrome and blacked out, thats how i made up my mind. lol like a 50/50 on the poll, good luck man

Re: Amber looks pretty..

Black them out...and then get LED bulbs to make the signals light up more. I did this with some taillights on my old 88 lude and I think they looked better all blacked out and with the LED bulbs there was no problem with light shining through, they were quite bright.

Re: Amber looks pretty..

I like the blacked out in the daytime, but it just isn't practical at night. It will look so much better if they actually still function properly.
