Default Alternate Headlight companies
I am looking for an alternate to clear corners for blacking out my headlights. I have contacted Micheal at clear corners and he said they will not just paint my lights. I have to purchase a LED upgrade in order for the paint.

Is there another company that does a high quality job. I have read many threads, about Cincity, Mr Zips and others. While I feel I am fully capable of taking on this project, i do not feel like I am capable of completing it at level I would like.

Thanks for your time.

Can you confirm its true about needing to get LEDs and not just the paint?

WTF IF they force you into getting mods you do not want and later you might sell because of it! That is just not right... if it is true.

As the owner, I can confirm that we do not offer our paint services a la carte.

We're not forcing you to do anything you dont want, we're simply choosing not to open ourselves into certain liability problems.

Some people think taking apart a headlight is a cakewalk, toss it in you're home oven and push BAKE for 20 minutes, a few coats of krylon and you're done. We dont do things that way.

Its not about the money, its about offering our customers a solid product thats worth our time and provides value.

I hope that answers your question.

Respectfully,
Mike / ClearCorners.Com


ps: If I were to have to choose amongst all the lighting companies out there, I'de have to say go with Lightwerkz.

Why call seems he will come to us and confirm why. Tks Mike.


IDK why he does not but personally I think it looks clean just painted.
