has anybody in the san diego area blackend their headlight housings themselves or did you go to a shop if you went to a shop how much is it going to cost? if you did it yourself anybody wanna help me??? im thinking about doing mines myself to save money but im worried i might screw up lol

 

please dont use HIDs after you get it done... condensation + 1000 degree bulb = disaster
spend the money and get it done right... please!!! no more ZBQ's

 

damn so i can't get HID after? i was thinking about getting maybe 6k what do you mean by disaster?

 

i wanna do mine myself but scared of screwing up too!

but no HID kit for me, the oem is fine..

 

I did mine and I have HIDs no problems with condensation here. I let it dry for a while before I resealed them (24hrs).

 

same here mine are done and i have HIDs n never had a problem

 

anybody in san diego want interested in doing it themselves? i need some help with this i've never done it before there are some DIY on youtube for other cars but i haven't seen one for Zs somebody help me!!! please!

 

Do a search on this forum. This is one of two I used. I read this one and another one then did it one weekend. Started Friday ended Sunday.

DIY: Black Housing

 

thanks

 

the whole throwing it in the oven part scares the crap out of me..

 

yeah same here im scared it'll melt the whole damn thing lol anybody in san diego wanna try blackening their headlight housing with me?

 

^^^

Wow Urbn, that sounded perverted!!! LOL...

I would do mine, but I got like a couple of stress cracks on the lenses so I just smoked them with vinyl... But I'm down to try it out on yours! lol... Let me know...

 

LMAO i didn't notice it sounded perverted till i read it, but i didn't mean to make it sound perverted lol

 

LOL! Same here at first, but it's cool. If you do it REMEMBER Don't put glove/wash cloth/whatever you use in both openings in the back when it goes in the oven only one. Then make sure when ur finished to let it cool and air dry at least 8hrs. I had to redo one of mine because I failed that part.

Other than that it's all good! Any other questions just let me know.

 

I did it to my civic but too scared to try on the z. Only thing is I used a heat gun, then took them apart, it took a while but I felt more comfertable doing it that way. Maybe you could do the Z lights with a heat gun?

 

ya u wanna come over and help me do it? lmao

 

LOL! I would but I'm gettin ready to go to Afstankystank (Afghanistan) Monday for a year.

 

dam that blows dude. i wish u a SAFE trip.

 

you will be fine. I have done it so many times and used the oven method. It has made things a lot easier. Heck that DIY JoBAGZ posted was mine
