jeepthrills Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 anyone know the date/vin cuts for chrome vs gun metal color inside the headlamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i am pretty sure only the 05s have the darker headlights. You can always paint em to be how ever you like em. Here is a pic of mine. Cleared and with the housings painted black short the reflectors for the high beam/turn signal. http://www.th3forgott3n.com/gallery/albums/EP_l/EP016_l/normal_EP016_033_l.jpg There are how tos out there. I had a guy on here help me with em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepthrills Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 update...the sodium lights in the parking garage were the culprits...the lights are gunmetal...the weird light just washed them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 the difference is VERY obvious between the 2. you need sunglasses in your garage or something?

djsnoops Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 sweet thats badass. how long did it take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 usncorpsman Did them for me. Took a few hours. Plus a trip to homedepot. But it was just bake and seperate. Then like 15-30 minutes each taping off the turn signal reflectors(high beams and the projectors go with the back side of the housing). Then a few minutes spraying and drying... Remove tape and put the headlights back together. was simple. Just so you know purchase any turn signal bulbs or what not before hand. Much easier to do once everything was apart.

djsnoops Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ya i was just worried about the baking lol.. anyways what kind of signal bulbs did you put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I didnt because i didnt think about it. Why i suggested it to you. I mean im stock amber. Which works. But if you wanted the bluer ones to match say a 6000-8000K HID setup... Now would be the time since your taking the front end apart already.
