its gonna look dumb for 2 reasons. one its ugly to have orange scattered all over, second its gonna be dim when you paint over the reflector. i would try and find some amber plastic you could fit but its gonna be hard to do.

DON'T DO IT... Just DIY your headlights black and leave in the amber reflector. You obviously have a VP right? The painted headlights will look good with the scheme of your black side mirrors and (temporary) steelies.

its already been done, but not in a '04-'05 civic...



i do agree that blackouts would look better on your car due to it being silver.

those are not "stock". if you get a picture of a stock '01-'03 civic and compare them to mine, you'll notice mine are more orange and darker. thats cuz i painted them with lens paint.



vs.



the lights look darker because i was parked in a shade.
