so i just bought a perfect set of 03-05 hid headlights today just to practice blacking out headlights. a $200 experiment and 50% done now.. check it out.. lemme know how im doing?




thanks again HALFASS...

 

The hardest part is the sealing! Lets see how they hold up against hazing.

 

No prob man!! I can't see the pics at work, so i'll have to wait untill i get home. I'm glad you're happy with the lights.

 

Eh, I'm not a fan of blacked out headlights. There goes your light output.

 

^^unless you have 07-08 headlights

 

which OP does not

 

you mean 06-08

 

well i do.. but id rather practice on these first then mine... soo gonna test them and then put the up for sale for whoever..

 

after u paint them u have to have the lense for for a couple days to not get the hazey look.

 

yes i did, thanks

 

+1, you need to let the paint cure for at least 5 days before reassembling. I usually wait 2 weeks so I know for SURE I'm not going to get that "toxic rainbow haze" effect. As paint cures overtime, gases rise from the surface. If you trapped all those gases by putting the headlight together, you're going to run into this issue. You'll see what I mean when you put your car out in the sunlight.

I notice a lot of professional shops don't even let them cure for at least 2 weeks since they need to rush the lights back to the customers. I'm not really going to say which shops, but if you look at certain photos, many people having headlight work done have a rainbow toxic haze from improper curing techniques.

 

i would like to get these man my headlights look like a$$ i had to put some tint over them so they would not look as bad ...had some nasty acid droped on so i could use these bro lol

 

Our headlights are really easy to clean up. If you peel off the tint, i can help you. All i use is scratch-X and a lil elbow grease. Mine looked pi$$ yellow and really hazy around the hood for a while. It took about an hour the first time to get them looking brand new again. After that it takes me about 5 mins every few months to bring the new look back!!

 

i think his are painted bro...

 

Very nice work, I think the light output will be fine since you left the reflector by the high beam unpainted.

 

i have tint on mine but but theirs no way it will get this off its not like mine are yellow becuase i know what u mean that stuff works like a champ on that but before i bought the car this truck dro[[ed acid ont the front end of the car thats y its a different color now but it also messed up the headlights on the corners its like melted i guess is the best way to describe it thats why the tent on my headlights look bumped its because the surface is not smooth but yea man if u end up selling these i would love to get them think they would look way better then what i got right now..

 

I think i know someone who may be selling a set of blacked out ones soon, to replace yours!!

 

i wonder who??? yeah i got both of them done. give me a price green z!!!
