Andy, check this link in the NorCal section....there is a guy that does this. Also on page two there is a link to some pics of blacked out headlights.

If you have the nerve to try it yourself, here is a DIY with pics that mgl once posted:

Another alternative to changing the look of the headlights is the Central 20 headlight covers. I just installed a set and they really look great IMO. You can check them out here:

They shipped them to me painted and the match was perfect.

Good Luck!

Dean

I would like to get my headlights cleared. Has anyone in the Los Angeles area done this themselves or know of anyone that can at reasonable price?

Yea, it wasn't too bad to DIY, just make sure to seal the **** out of it. I was an idiot and used grey adhesive.

Miraclekid, your car is looking real good. I have an SS too, and that was exaclty the picture that i needed to make me 100% i want to black out my headlights. Im thinking of doing this myself right now, unless there is someone in the la/orange county area that can do it. Palmdale is pretty far from Orange County.
