paint headlights black, or get clear corners??
Sunday, August 16, 2009 11:00 AM
What would look best? Should I paint my headlight housing black or get clear corner lenses. I can't keep them the way they are it looks awkward with 2 different color lights, here are some pics of the car now with the clear headlights and black corners.

The right side of his car is lower than the left side of his car, i think that is why it appears to have a lift kit.

John Benham made em (the member running the HID/Projector group buy). I've seen ppl paint around the reflective part as well, but if I were you Id just get a set of these made or make 'em urself. John sells the parts as well. Its not hard. Hell its a 'no cut' kit, u screw in the projector lol.
Mine are solid black because I have the projector, there's no need for the reflective chrome anymore if there's nothing to reflect on it right ? But if ur not workin with projectors just paint outside the reflective area so you can still see with ur headlights lol Tho if I were you with this generation/style of J, I'd make/get the projectors and paint the entire housing black. Looks 100000x better seriously.

yea those look really good i might just do that. I wonder what he would charge if I just sent him the headlights since I already have HID's and black corners. I"ll pm him and see what he can do them for cuz the black headlights look really good on a silver cav

If you send the headlights you save about $75. If you wanna construct em urself he can ship out just the projector you need to screw into the stock housing headlamp hole. All you'll have to do is unseal the lights paint the housing black, screw in the projector and seal em up. There's a procedure outline either in his last group buy thread or somewhere else on here. If you have the mechanical know how and patience its cheaper to get the parts from him and construct em urself. But if u pay the extra he'll do it all for you. And the option of sending him ur stocks instead of gettin new ones is there as well.

yeah, im pretty cheap and easy to work with. i have a gp running with prices for the whole deal, but i can work with your headlights, and your HID kit as well.

hit me up in a pm, ill get you straightened out, whether you want me to do them, or just need the parts to do yourself.

but i would definitely gp black with that hood.
