I saw couple of threads about this so I figured I would give it a shot...

 

old news but good job
would probly b better if u posted pics in offical pic thread in stickies

 

Are those bugs? I sure hope not.

 

Do you have a writeup...or better yet, where did you get the writeup from?

 

or you could look for the info like he did

 

Well instead of me searching for a 1/2 houre I could just ask him...On the other hand I would agree with you, I wouldn't open a thread without searching; but whats "1" post?

So now can you help me?

 

It looks nice....



search my friend.......

 

Looks tight.

 

3 minutes worth of searching I don't feel like doing.

No. PM him.

 

hey man I live in rochester. Would you want to give me a had doing this? I'm tempted to try it myself but if I screwed up a headlight, i'd be out a headlight. It would be nice to have someone who has done it before to help out.

 

No worry the mod is very easy just search for write ups there a hundreds. I have done it myself it seems like a big and iffy job but it is really easy no need to be scared of it. Just search one recommend I will make is instead of rubbing use duplicolor glossy black engine enamel it matches the grill perfectly in 00-01 and gives a nice gloss. Also a pro is since it is engine enamel you know it will alst and you wont have to redo the project for any reason.

 

Is that BLOOD on your one headlight?

 

Sure looks like it. lol kinda scary.....

 

looks like junebugs or whatever. they are red when they hit....

 

Lucky i did it last week and left it bookmarked

Prob is, I get it when I run people over...

Don't let it go for long, it gets hard to clean off after a few days... That and the cops start to ask questions.

 

yeah those are bugs, I drive from Buffalo to Rochester and back often, and my apartment in Rochester is in the countryish so there are lots of bugs.... my car never stays clean.


I tried following studmans tutorial I found it worked better just with out wrapping the headlight in a towel, I just set the light on the moist towel.

fyi... I used flat back high temp grill/stove paint

 

yeah thats what the blood came from, they are out like crazy right now

 

Nice mod, should have done the corners as well.....Did mine, think it looks amazing.

 

i wouldnt think paint would stick well to the chrome so thats why i just rubbed it off. either way they turn out the same way, rock on!

 

That looks Smooth with the blacked out corners.

 

I lockk it...ALLLLOT

 

Thats what I did, man did it take forever. I was sore from first getting the housing apart.

 

yeah my fingers were sore also.... i think im going to take them apart and paint the side markers, i like how that looks

 

Thanks or the link; And sorry for being a nag.

 

I painted the corners on mine as well. Duplicolor engnine enamel stickes very well to anything. I would use the glossy black color. I also used paint promotor before the black coats (3 light ones). I was scared that painting the corners would screw up the output but it is fine both in daytime and night time. Plus cant see the ugly yellow bulb.

 

do you have a close up of what you did, looks good but hard to tell. thanks

 

Hard to tell as my I wet sanded my lights and they still need buffing. Mind you, you DO NOT have to paint the housing...Hot what and some muscle will peel the chrome off to reveal a beatufil gloss black finish underneath. I may have some other pics at home. Will post when I get a chance.

Also those worried about output should not be worried, the corners light up and are visible in bright daylight when indicating.
