Hey guys, please post your headlight pics! Colored, blacked out, ebay, whatever. I would love to compare and decide what looks best for me.

Thank you!

Thanks KNuzz, my car is red too. I was wondering what that would be like, which paint did you use? The paint looks a bit darker but I wonder if that's just because it's behind the lexan?

Here's my old SS with my painted lights:



Anybody out there with a Red SS and black headlights? I still have teh can of BBQ paint from when I did the lights on the Camy.

I used the Duplicolor Touch up paint spray can. It is a match, its just the the lexan is tinted.

Whats up kids, I did it last night. Thanks for the pics and the great "How tos" By the way I didn't have to scrap off the grey crap, I just heated it up and stuck it back together.

I did break an orange reflector trying to pop the stupid thing out, I ended up epoxying it back together and with the black stripe down the middle you can't even see it.

I think it turned out good and I'm really glad that I really didn't damage or brake anything on my 4 day old car. By the way guys turpentine or paint thinner will clean the grey glue off your screw drivers or knives, or what ever you used.

Before:


After:



Sorry for the crappy phone pics but does it look good?

I don't know if it's just me or what, but when the lights are on, they remind me of a BMW. They look awesome.
