Got bored... painted my headlights
Saturday, April 22, 2006 9:29 PM
Well, I was bored today... so I left my girl looking like this:







This is how the headlight originally looked:



After some painting.....



Close up with the lens back on



Corner marker, with the reflector unwrapped, light protection still wrapped in tape.



Both headlights with the lens on, headlight bulbs in (notice the blue)



Final product!



Close up of the left one



Smudges are due to my hands... They'll be cleaned before they go back on the car tomorrow morning. Let me know what you guys think

all of you suck for being able to take off the corner lenses without cracking, chipping or completley breaking them. I swear i have a @!#$in curse on me... ive broke 5 sets of corners

My right lens cracked I'm looking at the JY's for a new one so I can use that lens.

And I actually held the lens together with my hands for about 15 minutes, lol. They're on there pretty good. The headlights are easy, the corners like to pop out.

What type of silicone did you use? The last time I took my headlights apart the silicone did not seal right and I ended up with a foggy headlight

melt them all down, and from the molten plastic shall be birthed, a one piece 00-02 headlight!

Looks great! Love that mod!!! I especially like the amber reflector you left in. I did the same mod to my contour head lights.




I used gunmetal for my headlights!
