I traded my old metallic black headlights to someone who really really liked them. I've been running stock headlights for the past 2 months. I noticed the other day that the passenger was an 05-06 with the amber cover on the turn signal. The driver side was an 07+ w/o the amber corner. So I got a crazy idea to try something new. What do you think? Anyone want to guess how it was done?

 

idk how it was done, but it looks real sick!

 

lol your intake almost looked like a bov

 

my headlights are the same way!!!! with the amber and none amber. i don't even know how i missed it when i was buying it hahah

 

Lol wut!

 

Dub, Ex was saying he has one headlight w/ the amber circle on the turn signal and one w/o the amber.

Any one care to guess? It was simple, done at home

Heh, yeah it does lol. If only...

 

well if you open them to paint them, you can pop that lens right out

 

LOL I was like god damnit what scheme is he up to now....then I realized balts intakes are different looking .
You sanded down and painted what is normally chromed?

 

almost need better pics to really see the color, otherwise it looks just black.

and how ya do it?

 

Well it's still really shiny and the sun was right on it. I'd load more pics, but it's from my cell which won't send MMS right now...

1) Take apart as usual, tape up turn signal
2) Wipe down w/ windex or rubbing alcohol with lint free towel
.... here's the different part..
3) VERY light coats of VHT Niteshades to get desired effect to the chrome, so the basic properties of the chrome shine thru. Clear coat, clear coat, clear coat.
4) Reassemble
5) Enjoy

 

Looks nice man.. now.. i need to see them in person... kthxbye

Wicked your soo cool!!!!

I think we need to start a offical fan of wickedss club

 

Zack, sometimes I can't read you. So if you're being a smartass, just wait til I see you next lol

 

So I was right? I only guessed that because I saw someone on ionforums selling a pair like that and they looked really good.

 

i was thinking about asking what niteshade would do to the reflective housing in the headlights well this answered my question

 

Oh for sure. This is the 6th set of lights I've done for myself/wife/others. I just couldn't wait another day after noticing they were two dif year lights. IF they both had the signal amber or both didn't I could have waited. Got me motivated to do it asap lol

Yes and no. A ton of cobalts paint their housings black (some color match). I decided to use niteshades to get a black chrome/gunmetal look

You're welcome

 

headlights look great...

I want to see them in person!

I just have to figure out how to shrink my sig for that fanclub

 

^^
Looks good, Tom!

 

I guess those wicked tuned stickers from Dustin will be the official fan club sticker
