hey thought id share a pic of the I35 with cleared out and black housing headlights. i asked for a pic request before i did this but no one put any up so i'll share mine. this was very easy to do i used a heat gun to open the headlight. the longest part of this mod is painting then letting it dry between coats i have about 10 light coats on these ones

before:


after:


the car is lowered on H&R springs
and 20% tint sides and back
every light bulb on and in the car changed to Mtec bulbs
rims are on the way

 

I like!
tempting me to do it to mine

 

Your what???

 

you're stalking me!

I do have an I30 ya know

 

+1 for effort, but I wouldn't do it to mine unless I have projectors with chrome rings (or even better, angel eyes!), only then will the black housing make it shine.

Good job though, just not my taste.

 

Oh.....I guess i didn't know...

Pics???

 

Looks great! I am still too scared to bake my headlight

 

Soon, I need to give it a wash and a mirror first.

 

Looks very nice. I especially like them with your black car.

It took me a long time to get up the nerve to paint mine (I dont have a black car), but it definitely made for a more sporty look. I used a sattin black with some flake in it. It matches the gunmetal grille very well.

I was so pleased with it that I painted my fog surrounds sa well when I installed my yellow capsules. I would definitely recomend doing the fogs. It really brings the look together... Although I am a bit **** and mose probably dont notice.

BTW n3985, maybe you should try doing your fogs first. Then you will see how easy it really is. It would give you some practice so you feel better about doing the headlights.

 

i've been thinking about doing mine, but i've got 2 strikes against me...dark green car...fogs & sidemarkers. i'd have to paint all 6 lights, and i'm not sure how it would look in the end anyhow.

 

NewLoveI30 can you please put up a pic ot the painted fogs i would love to see it

 

Im actually on vacation in Vegas right now and dont have access to my pictures. Ill have to post some in a couple of days.

It is very subtle, but helps bring the frontend together with everything matching.

I know there are some pics floating around here on the org, so if I find one Ill let you know.

 

Looks good.

 

Looks REAL clean!

 

Here's some pics of NewLoveI30's car, and his blacked ot foglights, at the latest Colorado meet we had.

 

Wow, I havent even seen these pics before!

Looks great! Thanks for posting these Duckman.

 

I can see some of the other guys cars in the back ground.

those are nice. hope no moisture gets in there.

 

when u get your new rims u think u gonna get rid of the stock rims if you are i want them

 

If you take the time to re-heat the lamps after putting them back together you will not have any problems with condensation. I have never used any extra sealant or silicone either. I've taken apart five sets of lamps and never had a problem.

 

Im lookin, and imma likin'

 

very nice.

 

what are you guys using to adhere them back together?

 

It's best to try reading the thread first.
