after having major paint problems i finally got back on track after about 3 hours of stripping the old paint, i think its going to end up being 2 tone but i'll know for sure when im completely done painting the light. damn i still havent started the other light, these lights are owning me lol. right now im not too concerned with overspray on the light because its all going to be re-painted and cleaned up. but none the less it will look amazing i promise. tmr night the light should be done with paint.




what i think is going to be hard is making the other light look like this one lol

 

alright, so im trying to figure out what im doing with the paint, the inner black part needs to be re-painted, but you get the idea, who likes the choice of colors? please give my your opinion i need help lol.

 

To be honest... I am not sure if I am too crazy about it. Seeing it on your car would probably help put it into perspective though... also a shroud would really tie things together.

 

Not liking the black at all man . I think you should keep it all red and get a chrome ring type shroud for the projector .

Your projector lens >looks< to be 2.5" , so the shrouds in the link above would work for you if thats the case .

yeah X3^^ stick with the red with a chrome shroud.. looks way better than the black..

 

I did a ps so u could see how it could look . This is just my opinion , I think you should paint the non textured areas of the parking light red too . It will make it look less gigantic next to that small projector and it wont diminish the brightness of the parling light when lit up one ounce ... I also put a parking light bulb in there for u so ur not looking at a black hole . It just makes it flow better imo .

 

i like that photoshop the best out of all ive seen

 

Here a look of them on a red SS .

 

You should tint the orange piece in the chops, i think it would look better and give him a lil bit of black

 

i like them.

 

It looks good, but it would look THAT much better blacked out. :

 

wow i reall like the PS pic you made. im trying to find a bezel, the thing is that the lens is 3inches.
thanks a lot for all the help! its greatly appreciated and is why i made this thread

 

look on ebay the retrofit source has a bunch of 3" bezels

 

those look great...you think you can do an all black version? of the headlights that is

 

yeah i can... why?

 

Since it is one of the options in Anthonys poll .

 

meh, not really feeling the black. i cant find 3inch bezels anywhere. anyone wanna help with a link?

thanks!

I have a set of those I am trying to sell... that guy wants $50, I can do $40 if you really want them.

I`ve tried them on mine and they really fill up that area nicely to make the projector really stand out and not look so small in that large opening.

 

i'll buy em, send me a pm with pics and more details on price
