I am painting my headlights today after I run errands. I won't have time to bake them apart. I just want to hear everybody's opinion on what might look good. I will be painting the outside of the housing and will be using an air compressor and spray gun, no rattle can job. Should I just paint the silver outline flat black like I did my taillights? https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...s-sort-of.html

Or would something more creative look good? eyelids, painting circles like jkeaton's headlight covers? I am open to any suggestions. TIA

 

I would do your headlights like Trucky's...imo...the eyebrows make these trucks look so much better. When I get brave I'm going to be doing mine in body color and lose the covers.

 

You could do an outline plus eyebrows.

Ive read before that these headlights arent easy to bake apart. I really want to pull mine apart, but I think that gray stripe that runs along the edge would still be visible, since it looks like its attached to the lens.

 

Paint them like mine it would look good on a white truck.

 

If you do eyebrows, make sure you make a mustache on the bottom of the grill

Sorry...had to be said..

 

Ok, thanks guys. I will tape everything off and see how they look!!

 

i painted mine a pretty cool way i have pics somewhere

 

I painted eyelids and the gray surround. It turned out awesome!

 

i like them painted body color

 

I have a theme of flat black going on. Check out my 3rd brake light thread!
