AE Headlights

I've got a '99 (clear lights) and I was thinking about AE headlights. Anyone have pictures of 97-99 AE's?

Do it with your body color. Someone with a white Max did the AE headlights with white paint and it looks great!

im going to be doing this today, possibly tomorrow, but my question is if many people do this black housing to 95-96's? i think it will still look good, but has anyone noticed if they looked good or not (without the clear headlights)

I've seen a couple of 95-96's done AE style. My personal opinion on them is they don't look anywhere near as good as with the clear headlights. With the un-clear's it just looks like something behind the glass is black.. but it does look better than stock- make sure you do the corners too... I'm doing mine hopefully in the next week or 2, when I get some time

did mines last weekend, , i have the 95-96 lights and it looks good, not as good as the 97 but definatly better than stock, the only advise i have is be carefull with the corner night , the crome stuff on the inside peals off easy, (i scrached mines up by acident) . I used the directions on .

What's wrong with white? I think the AE style headlights look best on black and white. Just make sure to do the corners also. I think just the headlights doesn't look right.

How do you manage the lights after you take them outta the oven? Aren't they hot?

Oh 97-99 AE style lights look great if done like geo1317.
