Hey whats up guys,
I just painted my head lights the other day.I painted them flat black,and i also put some strobe lights in them(4 total).It was a pain in the ass painting them.When i first painted them,the paint didnt stick well to the chrome,so i had to get some paint remover to remove the paint.I then sanded it down and primered them.I had some police strobe lights that i had in my old car,so i decided to throw them in since i had the headlights apart.Im waiting for my city lights to come in before i put the lens back on.Let me know what you think,thanks.

 

looks pretty good! we need to see a vid of the strobes in action!

 

i dont know about the strobe but to each there own

 

Ill have to take a video of mine, They looks pretty sweet

 

what is point of strobes....

 

Now for the strobes make sure one is red and the other blue. Oh and also be sure to post your mug shot pics when you get arrested.



JK man. Your lights look pretty good, not feeling the strobes. But to each there own.

 

I like the look of the painted headlights. I am scared to do mine though, the dealership has had to replace mine 3 times. I always get one that holds water.

 

You painted over the reflective material for your headlamp. Now they will not be nearly as bright or useful.

 

love the paint job... did real good... the lights will definitely stick out now

 

Looks great man, get a vid of the strobes in action when all is finished.

 

Thanks for the comments good or bad.The strobe lights are for show,its not like i drive with them on,lol.Im gonna have them wired into my alarm.When i arm and disarm the alarm they will flash,and when the alarm is triggered there gonna flash.I have 2 extra bulbs,im gonna see if i can fit them into the foglights.

Nah,i dont think it will affect the light output as much as you think.If you look a the impala headlights,the bottom piece is painted black also.

Plus,if the light output sucks,i dont care.These are a spare set of headlights,ill just throw the stockers back in.

 

koolio

 

i painted mine the same as yours, a little more actually and i havent had any issues with output.

 

i painted mine also and it was a pain in the ass....i was thinkin about getting strobs but decided not to. i know people that use em for street racin.

 

You tinted the inside of your lens?That looks nice.I have some spray tint,but i dont wanna make the lights too dark.


It was a pain in the ass right?Its not as easy as it looks.Any little imperfection sticks out.Im not using the strobes for street racing though,im done with that ****.A long time ago when i had the strobes in my z24,a bunch of us went on the highway for a run.They were all in front of me,so im like im gonna **** with them.I put my strobes on,and they all thought i was a cop so they slowed down.I just drove by them laughing at them.

 

Well,i put the lens back on.Im waiting for it to dry,so i snapped some pics.I also put in some blue city lights.

 

hurry up and blow on it so it can dry faster and go mount them on the car...

 

LOL.I still gotta remove the rest of the strobe lights from my other car so i can install them in the headlights.
