After reading how everyone complains about the little silver surround on the headlight assembly, I took my spare headlight assembly I have outta my room, and played around with it...

Let me know what you think! :-)

I like it a lot! What'd you use to cut if off? Did you just throw the headlights in the oven at a low temp. to pull them apart?

My plan at some point is to buy a spare set of headlights and remove that orange piece of plastic on the side there. I wanna replace it with some clear plastic-- the stuff they use to cover lights in ceilings. Not sure what it's called. I think the hardest part is gonna be cutting the new plastic without it snapping. A guy I work with did it with his car and it looks factory!

I didn't take anything apart...



I bought a can of Metalcast smoke, spray paint, and did three thiiiiiiiiiiiiin layers on it...

Right to the front... it tinted the amber reflectors, and everything...

 

Looks good man, is that as dark as it would get or would more coats go darker you think?

 

I wouldn't go darker, Rich, I'd only do three layers...

You could try, but I honestly wouldn't...

 

Ahhh now I see what your talking about. lol my bad. I thought you were posting pics showing that you removed that little plastic piece that covers the turnsignal bulb, just like the headlight bulb.

 

Ohhhhhhhh, nope, they only had those on the 05 models, 06+ they dont...

 

^^^ That explains it. I might chop mine off anyway just for the hell of it

 

I doubt it would be hard, I just don't know how hard getting it out of there will be...
