i am really considering doing this, i have a white ss/na and i think i could paint the inside of the headlights white like the new corvettes have

 

i got a white balt and was also thinking about doing this, def would look sick

 

yea i know i love how the new vette headlights look.... But i want to see if anyone else has done it before i do it lol

 

IMO it looks like crap. Go with black!

 

okay well y do the SAME EXACT THING as every other person that has a cobalt, every1 sprays thier lights black, the halo projectors are black i mean something different would be nice for a change

 

I agree the black on white i starting to go old and I will be honest your tc looks sick but I would give white a try. I painted mine the same color as my car and they look awesome.

 

hahha starting to get old? its the best looking cobalt black headlights for me they are ******* ****!

 

White is not that different from the chrome. I personally think white out lights would look better than making the headlights stick out even further on a white car by painting them black.

 

did you bake your lights for bit to make the paint last longer? or a better question how and what did u use to paint ur lights lol

 

okay how about too damn common...is that better? 90 percent of the cobalts on here as gone with the black scheme.

 

so has anyone tried gloss black instead of flat black?

and would a clear coat be good to put on?

and would a clear coat be good to put on?

 

There is a cobalt in my apartment complex that did this... and it looks iffy. I don't like it. I'll see about pics tomorrow

 

Our headlights are too big and bulky and look like crap color matched. Corvettes are more low profile. Mine are gloss black and if you care THAT much about other people having and which makes you not want to do it. Im sorry for you. It looks good and i can garentee none if not ONE cobalt with a 50 miles radias of you has it done. seems common because the 5% of us owners are on the website

 

get high temp grill paint, nice flat blacck and can stand the heat from the lights. did it on my wrx and it looked great


but I would be interested as well to see the same color

 

okay you ve convinced me lol. Im going to do the same thing as you did but do the chrome part that u left out white. I also have some questions for you...did you use krylon gloss black plastic spray paint or something else, im asking b/c i was thinking that regular plastic paint wouldn't last long in the hot ass light houseing. So what kind of spray did you use and is your spray holding up good with the hot temps that the bulbs make?

 

um you sure about that? I live pretty damn close to memphis. And there are two I know of two in my hometown.


Look im not trying to start any ****. I think he should try it and before he seals them throw it on the car together and if he likes it go for it if he doesn't go black. You lost half a can of white spray paint. But, I will say my lights were black and then I painted the new set in the color of my car and they look just as good if not better. And btw, black cobalt's have the corvette look automatically then lol.

I've seen wrx's with white lights on theirs and they look good too. And you don't need hi temp paint I doubt your paint is going to get any where near boiling temps on spray paint. I painted mine with krylon and they did fine.

 

i have only seen pics of one that did it, i think it was a base balt so i photoshopped those lights onto this ss/tc for reign1 a while back to get an idea

 

damn thanks alot yea i have those 5k nokya bulbs and you sure nothing willl happen?

wow thanks that acutally looks pretty shnazzy

 

Just a different spectrum on the color chart...doesnt mean they run "hotter"....now if they are a different Wattage that would change things

I tried yellow on car (painted half of it and put it in the car....it just did not look correct imho...Like the above car w/ white....if the housing was a different shape I think it would work, and look great (but those are just my opinions)

And NPR lmao....went to HS there lol

 

lol really what school? i just graduated from River Ridge

 

graduated from RR as well.....96 though . School was nice and new then

 

I think that white on white would look sick.

 

lol 09 for me did you have mr howery as a math teacher?

 

Well i ran HID bulbs in mine for a while and nothing happened to it. I think normal paint has a tolerance of like 150 degrees...but I could be wrong.


But I say go for it, Be different, Be Awesome!

 

yea i was thinkin about makin them all white then make the little part above the blinker and low/high beam light black or the inverse of that
