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..

Should I.... black out underneath the amber peice, or leave it chrome underneath. Below are two examples of what im talking about and sorry if your car is in the pics, thank you for the references and ill take them down if you its a problem.. thanks!:sweet:

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 shit....so i had to black it out or it woudlve looked f'd up... now im indecisive (sp?)...

black it out. i like the look of the black under the amber, but it seems to be 50/50 among everybody haha. good luck.

DsevenEm2 10-17-2007 09:07 PM

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
yea man wtf lol...this isnt helping.. and i know its completely up to me and my taste but i like both of the looks equally... ughhh

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

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.

omgggg leave it chrome!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will have the ugliest lookin headlights at night when its black behind there lol... look at mine i went from black behind to chrome in 1 corner they look so much better now.

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
I say black...I have it chrome and I think I'm gonna black it out after seeing the white vic

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
jessssssuusss christ lol...

this is impossible.. GAHH..

the second cars grill is the H mini-mod trick... its an ebay tezza grill with the H symbol from ur oem grill, stuck on to it by some means.. i used to have that until i rear ended someone..then it cracked off and fell sumwhere and i never found it.. Honda wants 9 bucks for it..shipped.. gay

my car is SSM..hence the 3/4 examples i put up for reference..

hey varner is urs really chrome behind the corners?? i thought u blacked that out too, but u just cut the amber peice in half..

yes, black it out man :rolleyes:

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.

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
keep it chrome and if you don't like it, just pry the headlights open again.

DsevenEm2 10-17-2007 11:36 PM

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
^^ good idea

at night its not that big of a deal.. the bulbs i have in there now are fine at night.. in daytime theyre useless lol.. but at night theyre ok..i get by

sniperscout 10-17-2007 11:46 PM

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
well since you like both...do one chrome and one black. there ya go problem solved



i think on silver the chrome looks best. but on white, black, and blue blacked out is nicer

MarchMadnessisM 10-17-2007 11:52 PM

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
yea now the question just becomes which one is chrome n which one is black driver side or passenger?

speedricerx 10-18-2007 12:41 AM

Re: Amber looks pretty..

speedfoos 10-18-2007 12:57 AM

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
Chrome.

Re: Amber looks pretty..
 
i say black them out... leaving it chrome is like darkening 3/4's of your headlights... I don't think it flows well.
