Has anyone done this or know someone that does ive seen people take the orange strip out but i want the inside black.

 

I'm going to tint my amber strips this weekend actually. There are alot of D.I.Y. instructions on this forum of how to open your headlights (by heat gun or oven). You'll also find info on how to paint your headlight too if that's what your looking to do.

Good luck with your idea!

 

I just had my whole headlight done black...reflectors and all.

Everything BUT the low beam housing (the lens and around it.) My shop refused to paint that, and I'm in the process of finding a way to paint that without it melting. If I can't find a way, I'm opening the f'er my self and spray painting it with 1500 degree black grill paint.

Sorry, no pics yet.

 

here ya go, had them painted black and had my reflector smoked out as well.

 

Looks Awesome!

 

BTW what kind of paint did you use?

 

I used plasti-cote self etching primer and plasti-cote satin black from pep=boys on mine

 

I wouldn't mind painting my housing black since I have a SB Z, but I'm not the best paint man out there. Last thing I want to do is mess up the housing or have the paint run after its put back together.

Kudos to those brave enough to paint their housings. BTW Cat, your headlights are bada**!

 

Going to kill your light output.

 

That's sweet man.

 

That looks really good man!

 

Anyone with a SB Z with black housing?

 

IM A GIRL!!! LOL, thanks though! I love it, it really makes a difference!

 

I'll post mine in a bit .

How does it effect the brightness of your headlights? It looks good IMO

 

Not with the aftermarket HID's I bought.
They don't use reflector's like the stock bulbs. They are made to project all light forward.

 

Cat's ride is badass!

 

Here's a link to my SB Z with black housing:

+1. I was really jealous back last year when i saw cat's car and it seems like its only gotten better. Easily one of the coolest z's on here.
