I like it a lot. I dont think it looks bad, just different. Everyone here is so used to all black with a tad bit of silver then we see our light in all white......on a white 8......so much white......lol, I like it though, good job

 

nice work man yea i did that mod last year but i crashed my 8 before i got around to installing the headlight, but i just gave my painted headlight to my panel beater to install the headlights i will take pictures next week

yea man your pics gave me the idea to do it... about the taillights, thats crazy, it looks like you cut the lens off the front?? Or did you cut the back off and access it from there..ive been thinking about doing it, I just wasnt sure of a solid process.

 

you are crazy...lawlz. lets see some finished pics

 

yea i made will post some picture next week

 

I just got my custom projector lenses in the mail. I'm going to swap them out this weekend.

 

Post pics when they arrive! I am very eager to see how they turn out. How much were they and where did you get them?

 

I installed the lenses this morning. They look incredible against the wall in my garage. I'll start a thread tomorrow with pictures.

 

damn i like it, you wanna do mine

 

Rasp im growing impatient! LOL. Please post some pics I am dying to see what this looks like.

 

i will try get picture tomorow from my panel beaters

 

shakeyourbrakes, nice job, I will be doing mine within the next couple weeks (all black obviously). Done lots of my previous cars. Sux gettin the glue apart!

 

Nice good luck, just a word of advice, make sure to take out the tiny screws that also hold the two parts together (lens and housing) on this headlight..theres 5 around the outside on the back if i remember right. When you seperate them, go slow because the plastic ring around the projector lens is connected to the headlight housing. PM me if you have any issues, cant wait to see the pics.

 

Ha its funny i did this on my last car and made it black to git rid of the chrome. I think if i did this in VR I would look like a C6 wanna be. The last car was a black miata I re did the housings in semi gloss black. So much better then chrome. I also never never had a problem with moisture in the last three years. Also I did that repaint in five different steps.

 

Dude, you are a GOD, this is amazing. I am prolly gonna attempt to do this but it seems like every time i try to do a project like this it turns out looking HORRIBLE. Oh well, imma try anyway. Any tips on things i should NOT do? Also, what do you guys think about me painting it velocity red? Can you buy VR in a rattle can?

Pretty cool. I like it. I wouldn't try it, but I like it.

 

Yea, NOT forget about the headlights in the oven.

 

Lawl

 

got the front end apart and headlights out..... whata PITA.... the fun part ill be doin in a few mins.... BAKING AND PRYING..... ugh

 

bump from the dead; has anybody tried painting the chrome around the turn signal lights? Would it just look wierd with the only chrome being behind the high-beams?

 

Those lights look awesome! I've been looking on ebay for blacked out headlight assemblies with no luck. I bought some for my last ride ('04 Dodge Ram) and they still look great today. Then guys on the Dodge forum started doing thier own like you did in the oven. I never could figure out why because I sold my stock lights on ebay for almost as much as I paid for the black ones.

 

its fairly easy once you tackle the project, and you can customize them however you want once theyre open...i think thats why most people go for it. So far i havnt heard any horror stories from people baking them open, only from people who sealed them too soon and had the insides fog over. No HID issues though

 

the only reason i don't do this is because you have to leave some chrome chillin unless you want your highbeams to be dead.

 

Yeah thats the only thing that turns me off about it as well. Oh well, I bought all the paint and will be blacking out my headlight housing this weekend. Ill post pics when its done

 

please do then maybe you can help me with mine lol ive wanted to do it for so long just chicked out every time
