Default PICS of painted headlights... Black Trucks

I like the idea of painting my headlights but have yet to see a shot of them on a black truck like mine... i like the stock ones and dont want them to look unprofessional if i do it.. which is why im kind of torn. I have a black 1500 sport/monochrome with the chrome grille inserts.. but something close would be great.


Also im worried about smashing the plastic dissasembling them.. which is i guess self explanatory once you heat them... and removal of the amber reflectors.. there is holes to fill in? I've read the writeups but im still a little scared to take this on...

Thanks!

I feel ya...I would also like to see some more photos.

I, personally, would like to hear from someone who's done it to their '07.

I have a black '07 and haven't seen any pics. Curious!!

Look At CRMRAM's Profile.

It's Really Not A Bad Project - Just Need To Take Your Time.. And One Thing I Would Reccomend After Your Paint Dries... Throw The Headlamp In The Freezer For About 30 Minutes. This Will Alow The Adhesive On The Tape To Seperate, Without Pulling The Chrome off The Headlamps.

Thanks guys!! I had thought about that, but I like how the scoop sticks out a little more.

I agree...great looking truck!!

And I also agree...great looking truck!

I need to do this to my headlights! Need to. How long of a process is it? I don't find much time to work on my whip, unfortunately. I haven't even found time, yet, to install my bakflip bed cover that I've had for a month or so.

Anyone else have pics of their painted headlights? Would love to see more. '07's?

Helo's truck is awesome!

Here is my 07 Ram. I tried cooking the lights in the oven and it didnt work at all. So I sold the old ones to Tony (CRMRAM). He is a pro at taking them apart. I decided to go with the Night Runner ones.
