Ive seen a couple pics and I like the painted headlights, anyway you can photoshop a red cobalt and paint the inside of the headlight red... either way id like to get the inside of my headlights painted

Ill Buy

I'm in if I can see finished product before I buy.
When I say I'm in I mean I'll take first pair(if it looks hot).
Let me know I want Black. Maybe even a carbon fiber if its possible.
Let me know on price of a set and I may be your first customer.

There's gotta be a way that I can get em done in carbon fiber. That would be totally worth it.

It had to repaired...TO didn't have the cash to fix it so the City of Rochester bought it and fixed it up. Apparently it works well and some are saying it's the only way to cross the border instead of driving. I think I'll try it one day...


tiny...I'll give you whatever it costs for the lights plus $100 US for your time. Is that a deal? I want them in Arrival Blue Metallic. Can you come through buddy???

I used to sell custom headlights like this for alero's

I've done prolly 30-40 alero's

U can make sweet money doin it, cuz many people don't wanna risk it them selves. I was gonna get into sellin them for the cobalt's But its way too time consuming and i value my time more than the cash right now LOL


I used to even put decals and logos in them, heres the only pics i can find right this second

basically what u gotta do is front the cash for a set of core headlights to start urself off dood, then take ur first order, send them out, when u get theirs back do ur next order, and on and on. Or u gotta use ur headlights as cores if u don't drive ur car daily.

U can find very few people that want to send u their lights.

It gets to be a pain in the rear, But thats pretty much the only way to do it, otherwise ur gonna have to charge people more than they wanna pay, 200 for lights and 100 for you to do them as opposed to just $100. U'll make way more sales doin it this way

199 shipped including a 50 dlls deposit which you give back once we send you our stock headlights. I think that would work out pretty good.

I need to keep my stock headlights unpainted because my car is a lease. What price would you want if you bought and painted headlights and sent me finished product to put on my car? hit me on the private message to let me know price.
