Looks great!! I had to re-do my left headlamp as it appears I am not so perfect after all, lol. Got some water in there.

 

Help Quick-

I have the headlights apart and painted (drying) - but where do you get the clear strips from to replace the orange one's!!

Thanks

 

great write up..im also wondering about the orange strip...

 

i think you can get them from clear corners, do a search adn I am sure there are more suppliers out there.

 

From what I understand (i have an 06 but pretty sure I read it somewhere) people have been able to scrape the orange stripe thing off somehow. I could be wrong.

I've also got my headlights apart right now. Plan on finishing them tomorrow. Got some water in the ballast, but drained and dried it and it's working good as new, thank god.

 

Finished redoing mine this afternoon. Took some pictures around sunset, so this one might be a little dark. Just another example to add to the gallery.

 

I did no prep at all, just took them apart, and sprayed them, and yes, Satin black ftw!

 

so you can do this to the stock headlights right...and they wont melt if you do it right?!

 

These instruction I provided was for the stock headlights. I don't know if there are afktmkt headlights out there but correct me if I am wrong. and yes, they shouldn't melt if you do it right.

A pic for you all

 

Got some spare time to do my headlights on 06' 350. first headlight took me a while to figure out how things come off and being careful not to break anything. painted mine flat black with 3 coats and it came out as i thought it would. thanks for a great write up!

Here's some pics of my work ....

 

^ sweet, glad my instruction came handy.

thanks, here's one more of the car

 

Good job but removing the diffuser for the blinker bulb gives a much better look; shows off the entire headlight. And with the housing painted, the blinker is pretty much toast during the day anyway, diffuser can't help it much.

 

Did not think of that, thanks for the input. What does it do for the bulb? gives it more light?

 

Looks great, wish i had the 06 lights so i could have it all black.
mines just the bottom part and sides of the 05 lights. oh well. still looks good either way.

good job.
