what you guys think??, should i go ahead and do it to my 2k3 housings when i get my dde's?? i like the way it turned out... it looks a little yellow in the pics due to the fact that the plastic front part of the housings were diiiiiiiiirty

If you can get the paint to match then it might look good. However, the pearl is really hard to match so good luck.

Wouldn't getting factory paint take care of that? I found a website a while ago that sold factory paint when I was looking at paint for my motorcycle...can't think of the name though.

of course factory paint would match... that was my intention the whole time i was just testing how the color scheme would flow together(the white and inner crome of headlights) i didnt want to go an spend more money for the exact color to just test ya know, this just gives me a pretty good idea on how it will look together

i don't know but for me i would rather have black housing so it's got a bit more of a contrast and stuff...someone on v6p.net painted their headlights white to match the white car and some guy painted it red to match his red car...to be honest i don't think it looks that good...i think black housing is the best way to go


btw...the 02-03 housing are gunmetal? i can't really tell but i like how the stock color looks haha

I did it with the projectors but it didnt look that good because i used the duplicolor for the car but it didnt match at all.

Even if you use the factory pearl paint it is still hard to exactly match the rest of your car. I am very **** about that sort of stuff so if it is not perfect I'd be pissed.

If you can get it professionally done and if you can take it back to be redone if it does not match, then it would probably look good. However, if you use the Duplicolor like Icelandmax did then it will not look good at all.

Do you have any pics of them on the car so we can get a better feel for it?

xtantmaxima

not really digging this...


To me the reflector housings aren't really doing it for me with the paint.

Its hard to choose but off the car the black ones look better I would need to see the white ones on the car.

Install them first, then take a look. It will look different once they are installed. Post pix if you're up to it.
