i searched the forum and couldnt find a write-up on how to black out my 02 headlights. anyone have a write up for doing this?

 

there are write-ups....TRUST ME

remove headlight
crack open
paint
reseal
reinstall

 

look up 'a.e. headlights' in the search, and look for the DIY, its practically the same steps

*edit*

here is a link: http://www.vqpower.com/v2/readarticle.php?article_id=22

 

and....spoonfeed complete

 

thanks

 

this site is good too for that stuff http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/clear_HIDs.html

 

good luck my man, i tried and it did not look too good i burnt the plastic cover. luckily i had bought projectors already.

 

yeah I used housecor's site for reference and successfully got the clearing done..the biggest difference was that I used a hairdryer instead of the oven. It was slower but safer and worked quite well.

 

question do u guys actually paint the headlights black or is there a light assembly u can buy i just picked up an 03 maxi se with 55k on it

 

we paint it black.

I'd reccomend using the oven over a heat gun or hair dryer because it's easy to crack the plastic when doing it with the latter.

People who melt or burn their headlights then blame it on the oven method are in denial that they did it WRONG. Follow housecor's guide, and you will not have a problem. I've baked my headlights open several times now with no issues.

 

i have also baked many headlights and taillights with no problems whatso ever.

 

Those D.I.Y's write ups forget to mention how to fix the headlight leak after the first time it rains lol

 

you didnt even need to search for this.... check a few threads down.....

ok you should have waited a day and then not had to even search lol.....i didnt see the dates. sorry sooner

 

I just painted the entire headlights black, right over the clear cover. Did about 8 coats.

At night, no light comes out anymore, but it looks MAD HAWT!

 

Pictures please

 

no. it's a secret.

 

i have a 2000 se do i follow the same steps to try to black out my head lights cause the headlights are shaped like the 02-03 and as far as corners what can i do for smoked colored corners
