jerami1981 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 For what it is worth i used Ceran (sp) wrap over the turn signal section thus eliminating the need for tape contacting the chrome. I decided to just paint over the rest of the housing. If i decide i want the chrome ring back on the low beam i can just repaint it chrome or any other color since it doesn't need the reflectiveness.

scottyjneilson Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 not much light in the pic and i took it with my phone so it is what it is... but I could use some headlight restoration. But this was my spin on the clearing and blackout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboStock Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Has anyone tried this on a 5th gen? Just wondering if it's the same process...baking the light? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawkness Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Looking into blacking out my headlights but am very nervous about whether or not I'll pass inspection when the time comes. Has anyone ever had an issue with this or do you just keep a stock set around to swap in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever had an issue with this or do you just keep a stock set around to swap in? as long as you keep the amber reflector piece in you'll be fine, just like i did. the rest you can do whatever you want.

Vinny78 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 finished last night after about 4 hours of work. Glue was a pain being i used aheatgun instead of the oven cause i dint have one at the shop. Everything went pretty well besides the dam chrome coming off with the masking tape. i ended up just painting the pieces i taped of black, looks actually really good, ya the turn signal is a little dimmer but headlights are pretty much the same maybe a little dimmer. after all was said and done i think it looks pretty sweet, ill try and post some pics later.

Tryed pm'ing Cortez without response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzinq Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Joelwatts, I have the same style headlights as you.what all parts did you paint black? And does anyone have any feedback on a satin finish vs flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwatts Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I painted the whole turn signal backing and removed the amber portion. The headlight I only painted the portion that doesn't reflect any light. It's the portion that is closest to the lens. I'm a native of South Carolina. I am a dying breed.

Blitzinq Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What kind of bulbs are you using? I thought about HID but i wanna steer away from anything illegal. is there any nice legal bulbs that are bright and look good? Or do you think HID would be ok?

NWSPECB Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have never had any problems with HID's before.. they are "illegal" around here. Meaning that a cop will 99.9% never pull you over or think twice about your HID's. So many cars are coming standard with them now that they are just used to seeing them I think.
