with reflector, or not? (pics) [page 2 update]
 
so i cleared my headlights. then awhile later i blacked out the housing. now i'm thinking about putting the orange reflector back in... heres some pics: (ignore my dirty car, my hand blocking the sun, and the tape holding the reflector on).
ALSO: should i black out the housing behind the orange if i decided to put the orange back on?

I agree. I like the way it looks.

xRiCeBoYx 03-10-2005 04:40 PM

leave it out...

paradoxblue 03-10-2005 04:55 PM

u could also dremel and trim it into an orange edge.. may look good if u do it right?

Octane Joe 03-10-2005 05:00 PM

I think it looks good the way it is, but if you do wanna put the amber back in I would say leave the lights the way they are, when it is black behind the amber I think it does not look that good, it seems dirty instead of clean IMO...

I kinda like that idea. Curious to see how that would look.

IrockCivics 03-10-2005 05:13 PM

take the orange off and sell it to me lol.... either way it looks nice.

reflector back in... looks much nicer... subtle changes look better then big ones.... cause people have to take a second look to make sure they saw what they think they saw...

18rbetter 03-10-2005 05:55 PM

Blahman2 03-10-2005 07:10 PM

without looks more like luxury.

boombazokajoe91 03-10-2005 07:12 PM

Caucasian.Asian 03-10-2005 08:00 PM

skipbarber 03-10-2005 08:11 PM

amber is jdm :sweet:

kasimmmmm 03-10-2005 08:23 PM

or not.

shmik1 03-10-2005 08:55 PM

leave em cleared, if u want orange, get a bulb ;)

SingleCamCivic 03-10-2005 09:06 PM

i like it both ways....actually i am a fan of the amber piece tho....it gives it a JDM style even tho we know that is impossible.

Skunk2ner 03-10-2005 09:16 PM

heres a couple rough edited pictures of if i chopped the orange. i think it looks pretty good with the orange on the bottle portion (picture #2). especially with an eyelid or something.

Dont care to much about it being illegal, but true, the amber looks the best :moon:

Ambrer rocks! .......... but if for any reason you dont do amber, paint the bottom reflector part.

it's only illegal if you don't have an amber bulb. think of saturns. some have clear lenses but orange bulbs.

fraga 03-10-2005 09:25 PM

Post pics please...cause every Saturn I've seen has some sort of orange reflector in the headlight housing or around it...not to mention every other car in the States...
