Blacked out headlights with AMBER REFLECTOR. *PICS* *NO 56K*
 

This was inspired by Mex's idea of painting the reflector itself amber. Link here: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=195679

I'll let the pictures speak:

Here's what I used for the amber reflector:

It was such a nice day, so here are some of the other shots I took:

That is one nice and clean looking ride. I really like those headlights. Good job!

hey what kind of tails are those again?

They were originally chrome TYC's, but I painted the outer plastic (with the exception of the reverse of course) red. I used Testor's Candy Apple Red for that; I outgrew the whole altezza-phase.

EDIT: TYC makes them in chrome, black, and red. There may be a CF version of them too, but I'm not sure.

CLEAN!!!!!!! all u need is tint ur front windows, and darken the baks itll look waay cleaner

All 5 are 35%. I know, the pictures don't really show it.

lights look good...i wish i wouldn't have lost my damn amber pieces or i would do the same!

looks great! I might have to try that myself. :)

Looking good, was it difficult?

looks cool, maybe you shouldn't have painted behind where the amber piece was going to go, for it to be more orange? I dunno, looks good though

looks good, i wish you had a clearer picture though of the whole car and headlights. take another picture with the front end in the shade.

Nice. I need to do that when I get a chance. Looks really good.

looking nice

The whole painting process was easy. I just wish I had some help re-sealing the headlights; They're slowly starting to fog up.

Will do :)

pretty sweet mod...nice ride btw!
