There was some guy who did it. I don't know who, but do a search and see if you can find it.

Some guy I did it on my white car and it looks good, check out my cardomain page, that is if cardomain decides to be up...

I do recall seeing something like that around here. While at first they look interesting, there is something about them that has that raccoonish/Zorro-ish black mask around the 'eyeballs' look that might get old as you live with them that way.

yeah i saw them on kpazzo6's car..but what i wanted to kno was if it would look ok on a black car..it looks great on a white car..
in some ways it seems like it would look good.but then it might seem like too much black....so if anyone has any pics or links....or if anyone knows what to use to paint it....info would be greatly appreciated..thanks

Spray can! Buy high temp paint and spray it and then buy clear high temp paint to make it look shiney

K will be doing mine as soon as I can get my headlights to him. I didn't ask, but is it going to be a flat black or glossy black? I'm guessing flat black would be better.

i dont know..i'm not decided yet on anything...that's why i wanted to see pics or get opinions from people about whether i should or not....i think it'll look good..but i havent' seen black housign on a black maxima yet....

i have a glossy finish and phatman5050 has more of a flat finish. I can upload some pics if you want to see the difference.

This is how the lights will look after painting them black. I did it this past weekend and it turned out to look like AE lights

Haha your car is like mine, except I my car is white. I have AE style lights, front valance, clear corners, what looks to be a radar detector, and also a graduation thingy (mine says 2002) hung in my rear view mirror
