I was wondering which color/shade of dark paint everyone uses to paint their housing to make it look like the AE Headlights.

 

bumppppppppppp

 

i havent done it, but i am about to do it and will use graphite color engine enamel, saw it in a right-up and it looked good

 

b l a c k . . . . .

 

im gonna try and dark blue

 

I used black for mine! My corner lights are done now too.

 

does this work for 95/96 max's? what i mean is, will it look the same, the lense's on 97-99's and 95's are different arent they? i'm afraid it wont show on the 95's.

 

I can't really tell by your sig, but just look at your lights and if you can see the circular outline on the outside, then it should work. I honestly didn't think mine would show up much, but now that they're on the car, I'm surprised.

 

hmmm. i'll check it out. I almost just want to buy 97 headlights, but i dont know about the fitment of them. Since eventually i'll want to put a 97 front bumper on.

 

pics please?

 

Yeah on the 95/96 it isnt as noticeable as the 97-99's.

Why would you use blue? Just use black or graphite

 

Here are a couple pics with the corners done. The lights are pretty here so they don't look the best. The corners are a little trickier to pry apart than the lenses on the headlights.

 

because my car is a navy blue color so i thought that it would look a little better if i used blue instead of black.

 

looks real good Northern Maxima! i wonder if you can smoke the entire corner?

 

i think i'll leave my corners alone, i dont think they look good enough to warrant more time and effort prying the lenses apart (did enough of that with my clear tails last night )

 

I read somewhere in here that AE is bronze, JDM is black.

 

that's the color i used and it looks pimp!

 

You guys should get some of those clear side lights that custommaxima has. Those would make the AE mod really stand out.

 

so theres no 95/96er's here that have done this?

 

i think ill go with black since most of you did black and it comes out nice.

 

It's hardly noticeable in the 95/96ers. The headlight lense isn't see thru like the others. However, there are some that did it.

 

 

thanks meanbean

 

You're welcome.

 

flat black.. on my 97..
