what color to paint headlight housing?
 

i might be clearing/painting my headlights soon, but not sure what color i want to do

it's either gonna be, sliver, black, or red

i'm leaning toward silver for a clean look, but i think red or black could also look real nice! i haven't seen any red Z's yet w/ any type of headlight modification

what do you guys think?

i havent seen any z's with any drastic headlight modification at all

how do your headlights look now that you've cleared or painted your housings
 

i'm pretty sure there's a little light behind the amber strup in the headlights, how does it look once you've taken the amber out?

also, if you've painted the housing, and the chrome by the turn signal, how does it look now when you put your turn signal on?

if you black out the headlights and still want the amber strip to glow somewhat from the light thats behind them then paint everything except for the silver behind the strip itself. The headlights will be black but the strip will still be amber and light up like it does stock

Dave,

Big pelotas my friend...BIIIIG pelotas! :cool:

Hey Dave079,

Your chromed out Headlight looks sweet!

Did you remove the HID bulb and balast from the Headlight prior to baking them in the oven?

Rgd,
Mickey

Re: To Dave079
 

I actually have a base model and have aftermarket HID's so the ballast isnt connected to the headlights. I did couple others though who had ballasts and I removed the bulbs and ballasts out of them.

great link and dyi write up.....would you guys consider this difficult....and any problems with condensation after the headlights have been resealed?
