Sick man.. I've always loved blacked out headlights but wasnt sure how it'd look with PPW. Way to sell me.

A few more pics from a side angle would be cool if you have time? I have the Bi-Xenon but im assuming mine will look just as good.

I would recommend calling Mr.Zipps or having one of the guys on here that has done it correctly do it... You may pay 200-300 but atleast you wont jack a light up and have to pay 1600 for a new set of lights!!

to the OP. How did you seal them back together? I did this same thing years ago with my mercury cougar and used silicone sealer from Home Depot and a caulking gun. Never had any internal moisture or condensation problems, but wondering if that was the correct method or if you had accomplished it in a more appropriate manner.

looks fantastic btw. I am going to do this soon and get rid of the headlight covers that everyone hates. will post a write up when I do.

Does the blinker reflect enough, even being painted black?

Woops.. Haven't posted much about headlights in a long time now and let all my threads having to do with painting them slip away.

Sorry, i do not have any of my headlight pics anymore. After I sold the Z, I deleted just about every picture I had of it or related to it. Painted many sets in a few different colors, but mostly black. White looked AMAZING, but honestly, every color does.

I'm about do another set for someone on these boards. Black with angel eyes. I've been charging $100 plus shipping and it normaly takes about a week or two depending on my work/flying schedual.
