why do you want to black them out so much? honestly looking at the pic of your car, not if you have anything that complements a blackout headlight.

 

blacking out MY headlights next week......can't wait to Do it...!!
Everyone does it flat black...im going gloss...anyone think I'll have probs.?

 

Im mostly doing it to get rid of that amber strip. And blacked out headlights on black just look sick!

 

Krylon Fusion for plastics---Oldest one is still perfect after a yr

 

I use the Satin Black mostly

 

I used gloss black on my last set of headlight (2.5yrs) and they were still good till I sold them.

 

i did mine...

 

looked at ricks site ...

the instructions were pretty cool

^ yea those are nice instructions

 

Well i just started disassembly, God there is a lot to take off to get those damn headlights out. Then once the headlights are out you have to take off all the wires which are a PITA. Very Nervous at this point, but I'm in too deep to turn back. Pray for me! Pics will be up when they are done.

 

Finally got the huevos to do this Good luck, feel free to contact me if you need advice/guidence.

Andrew, good to see you are attempting this. I may do so the next time I remove the bumper to upgrade my CC LEDs.

Looking forward to seeing the end result at the April 7th meet; you're planning on attending right?

 

Good luck. It's not that bad.

 

Yea i am.

 

It's actually not bad. I took pics of the back before I took them apart. I had trouble remembering how the little clamps go back (for the HID and high beams) so I refered to the pics I took. It helped out a lot.

 

DID MINE>>>i GOT SOME PICS BUT IT WAS LATE ALREADY AND THEY MIGHT NOT DO JUSTICE...THEY LOOK SICK....I'll get some better pics soon.

and my Z is dirty as hell......
it was all pretty simple...time consuming but not very complicated..just take your time and be paitent...

 

Update: well the cardboard in the oven is a fire hazard waiting to happen. So i went with a cookie sheet ( just make sure its cool to start) I also tried to smoke out the amber strips, the VHT Nite Shades cracked up. I decided to just spray them black like the housings.

the paint is now drying in the sun.

 

Done! posting pics now....

 

Here they are......

 

Did you prep the clear strip before spraying the nightshades?
