I'm finally going to black out my headlights and wanted to get rid of the orange front reflectors. I can't decide whether white or black ones will go well with my blacked out headlights. Ive seen several pics of white ones, but never with blacked out headlights. Does anyone have pics of blacked out headlights with white reflectors and another with black reflectors? I would just paint the orange ones black if they look better. Thanks.

 

yours is 03-05 or 06-08 ??

i think i got couple of pics. i'll try to find em for u.

 

there you go.. that's all i got.

 

i say black if you car is anything but white. if you have a white Z then go with clear

 

wow maxmood thanks a lot bro. My car is an 08 carbon silver, and i will paint them black soon. Thanks for the help guys.

 

i havent blacked out my headlights yet, but i have my reflectors painted black on carbon silver color.

 

^Sick air ducts.

 

I like the look of it. Im definitely going to have to do it. Thanks bro.

 

I have same color/year, and want to do the same thing. Do you have any other pics?

 

Do you guys know if it is necessary to take off the wheels and the black cover under the fender to get to the reflectors? Or can i just take the bumper off without taking off my wheels?

 

It's a tight squeeze but you can get the bumper off without taking the wheels off. I did it twice now in my tiny little one car townhouse garage.

 

Just took my reflectors off. Before I primer and paint them, should I sand paper them? If so, what kind?

 

light sandpaper.. probably 1500 grit

 

Never sandpapered anything before. I just go over the reflector with the sandpaper and then primer and paint? Nothing else?

Also, im trying to do the halo mod also. I dont know if you know, but the halo is a bit small to fit onto the lens shroud. So I need to sand or dremel the inside down a little. I was wondering what would be considered tough or rough sandpaper that would allow me to shave off the plastic halo. Thanks.

 

No offense but these questions sound like they are coming from someone who should be hiring this work out, at least if you are talking about a halo mod on your headlights.

 

Well i know the process and there are a couple of diy threads to refer to. I just needed some info on sanding, as none of the threads talk about specific grits to use.

 

Sorry to get off topic for one sec, but what lip is this?


My on-topic contribution: SMOKED FTW.

 

Does anybody make red ones? I been looking but I can't find em anywhere.

 

you gotta go racial man?

 

some one told me red and blue ones were illegal, thats why I didnt paint mine red. But I guess you could just paint them red.
