Those headlight's are a lot different from ours tho. As you can see he doesn't have any reflectors surrounding the projectors like the 03-05 350z headlights do. He'll still have more output then OP does, because OP actually decided to paint the reflectors in the housings, plus the vette has the orange sidemarker. I don't think cops will care THAT much about painted housings, but smoked lights I think is a different story.

 

Its not safe at all to put it inside.
its true about vette owners are cops/firemen/City employees!
Glad you like my ride.

P.s. i bring in cash home too. its just that my wife brings more dont want to sound like without her i would be homeless. or maybe i would?

 

just to start out i was drunk when i wrote that last night about the front plate. Also if i dont have a plate then the first cop that sees me will pull me over. I do ILLEGAL thinks on the road but i dont burnout in front of a cop right? i would hope i was not that stupid. what i am trying to say is that having your plate in your windshield is like running a red light in front of a cop. your going to get pulled over.

 

'06+ have no reflectors in the headlights either, and also have orange sidemarkers.

I really don't see a difference between the OEM blacked out (well, body color) headlight housing vs. what OP or I have done. There's still no housing reflector either way.

Unless I'm missing something.

 

Your lights look great Fernando . That 30 day ban they gave me seem like it was forever ..

 

i keep mine in the map pocket behind the passenger seat and only put it on the dash when i get pulled over.

 

Bingo.
The 03-05 headlights(What the OP has) use a hybrid projector/reflector design. Some of the light escapes from the open sides of the projector, and utilize the reflector to provide width to the beam pattern. By painting it black, the light output will be significantly diminished, especially towards the sides. He also painted the reflectors for his highbeams, which don't utilize a projector at all, so they are pretty much worthless. Those headlights are a fail.

 

Clarity provided. Thank you good sir.

 

How's the light output at night?

 

What redlude said. The 03-05 headlight housings the low beam and high beam are pretty dependent on the reflectors. Not so much w/ the low beans hence it's a hybrid of projected/reflected light like redlude said, but yeah light output will deff. be down if it's painted. I'm pretty sure those high beams are completely useless now.


On the 06+ headlights were are the high beams at? in the projectors?

 

I actually gave in and tinted my tail lights on my 350z also LOL, a week ago.. I did it myself I do all of my work myself.. here is a photo of them on my Z before I did the wet sand and buff.. They look even better now..

 

not to be a dick or anything but did you notice that is not a United States or Washington car?

 

And, also not to be a dick or anything, but you ever seen a C6 at all?

 

sure haven't I am not into chevy cars... modifying your headlights period is illegal so how would one coming with factory headlights like that make modding yours to make it look like that legal?

 

than you for completely reiterating what hai said, and adding words like "pretty sure" to really drive the point home.

 

I don't even know what that says. But I highly doubt that it deserves anywhere near it.

 

lol

 

lol okay just breathe it will be ok

 

i believe it has something to do with it being illegal to color match our headlight vs. corvettes coming with color matched headlights stock.

 

Did seem like forever.
