what color should i paint them black or blue...i have an 05 Sedan LS that is blue...just wondering what peoples opinions are on which color i should paint them...
thanks

 

I say go with the black. I'm not a big fan of the color matched headlights.

 

X2, but its your car.. if you post pic's ill photoshop them at work tommarow and you can decide

 

Black FTW

 

do what ever u want man they will both look good

 

ok second question...if i go with blue..i need to find out what the blue on my car is...i looked at the sticky topic and when i looked at the numbers i could find on of my car to match

 

I believe you'd be Arrival Blue, theres only one blue

 

If you color matched you would probably be one of the first to do it on this site.
I say go blue, take pictures, and you can always pull them out again and repaint them. They might end up rocking ballz.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

 

go with part black and part blue, GO WILD! Paint some blue "eyelids" in there I'm just makin' stuff up

 

lol

Hey kenhebe,

What type of sealant did you use when you put those things back together?

 

I used a product made by 3M Automix series called TPO plastic repair. You have to have an automix gun to use it though. I then covered the the point where the lens meets the body of the headlamp with Butyl/dum dum tape. I manage a paint and body shop I have access to lots of goodies. The dum dum/ butyle tape is about $9.00 for a 10 foot roll. The TPO plastic repair is about $60 for 1 tube (which is all you need) I do not know how much the gun is though. You can get the stuff from O'reilly auto parts if there is one in your area.

 

I would have to bet that your headlights are the cleanest, and best done headlights on this forum (quality wise). You should consider making them and selling them on e-bay. Or offering members to send their headlights in to you for you to paint them, for a fee of course...

 

I'd be game for that. You should order a few assemblies. I just tell you what color I wanted. I pay and you ship the entire thing . That way all I have to do is swap them out.
then you could offer to buy the old assemblies. You could then turn around, paint and sell those. We get a choice on whether to buy a used painted assembly, or a brand new one. Everybody saves a little extra money. The consumer saves a little time, and you rake in cash for a job that you're obviously already proficient at doing.
Jesus SOMEONE should do this.
