Nsaglibene Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well as the title says, has anyone painted thier light housing yet??? My friend painted the housing white,on his white wrx, and it looks pritty cool. I want to see what it would look like on our LGT, especially black. If no one has tried this yet has anyone photochopped it? BTW: In the second pic thats my friends boosted teg, its got like 265 whp I love that car.

Nsaglibene Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 gtkid I would love to see those pics, can you e mail them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 To attach them as thumbnails try this: click "Go Advanced" on the bottom. Scroll down a bit and you'll see this button called "Manage Attachments". Click that and you can upload your pictures there. Hopefully that helps. I believe there's a limit of 160kb/picture and a maximum size constraint of 800x600 (L x W). If that doesn't work, Nsaglibene is willing to have the pictures emailed to him, or you can try a image sharing service such as http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/ -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91SS05GT Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Cleared today, also painted the housing around the reflector, tried to use the same color as what is in the HL housing, metallic gray, close but a little diff. Took aprox 3 hours total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsaglibene Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 looks nice. Would it be possible to paint everything besides the bulb itself black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91SS05GT Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 You could paint the entire housing but you would totally kill the effectiveness of the marker/signal. IMO leaving the reflective part around the bulb unpainted is best. I used the Sylvannia siverstars in place of the old lights, they have a cool blue hue to them and flash amber.

Nsaglibene Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 The black lights look real good gtkid, thats gives me a real good idea of what it would look like on my car. I like the whole thing painted like yours. Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05gtKID Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 no problem,....it doesn't effect the signal light either, actually at night you can still see the waffel look i guess looks sortta neet actually..... one question what do ya'll think about me putting the HID Blue rockblocker film on the ehadlights????????? i have it just no sure, don't wanna ricer look to it,. more luxury and stealthy............think the blue headlights would be too much.........

05gtKID Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 hey John M.. try and paint them to match your car...........think it would look better, even on your red car......let your car have its own stlye........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91SS05GT Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Something to do when you clear that is not mentioned anywhere. You have to either remove the clear reflective piece that the amber connects to or secure it with some hot glue from behind when you reinstall it. Without the amber it will move around a little. I have noticed just a bit of wear on my painted housing from this thing not being as tight as it was when the amber was on it. NO way am I baking again to fix this. Plus if you want to change HLs to HID during the clearing this would be a good time since you are already in there and if you want to upgrade your horns do it also, they are right infront of the right tire behind the bumber, again easy to get to with the bumper off.
