Default Headlight Mod

So i was looking at my headlights and i wanted to black them out so they match my wheels with the all black look. Except i don't really want to pay $3xx to get it done, so i figured that if someone could do this for me it would be perfect, i got the idea from seeing the overlay's Bat had except i want it to cover the blinker and i want it to be completely Black not smoke( so you can't see the chrome). It's basically a sticker that goes the upper part of the headlight, i tried to do it on paint but it looks weird. Anyone know where i can get this done? Maybe Bat can custom make it for me

EDIT: This is a picture of a member on this fourm...hope it's ok for me to use your pic.

I'm sure Bat could make that for you or you could just buy his full 6/10 tint headlight overlays and cut them yourself, but IMO, that'd be a pretty ghetto way of achieving the look you are after and I don't think you'd be happy with it. I say either read up and learn how to disassemble the headlights and paint the interior yourself or bite the bullet and send them out to have done. There are tons of threads on the topic.

If you want to do it yourself, all you need to do is make a template out of cardboard and then buy some vinyl and cut it out.

The problem is that it will look good only at certain angles becuse of where the cut ends. Make sense? I can sell you my zh3 full headlight kit and you can make the cut yourself . Email me.

Now that you say it does make sense. I guess I will have to save up and get my headlight painted. Thanks to this post I got a couple people offering to do my headlight for a lower price than I though. I will be PMing those people shortly. In the meantime I will be getting Bat's rear overlays
