LegacyKid5 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 So I'm planning to black out my headlights in the next few weeks and have read through all the how to threads, but I was just curious for those of you who have done it, did you use any sort of particular paint to do it? Also did any paints work particularly well or not well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planelazy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That's what I used too, some people have used plastic dip so that they can peel it off later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 30, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 30, 2012 says the 2nd gen guy w/ the ziptied bumper.... Of course I have a zip tied bumper. It works....I don't want to buy a new one because I'll just break that one too. At least I can still see where I'm going at night. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/IMG1061.jpg -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Aracheon Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, you should tint them instead. I think the OP is referring to the internal housings, and not the lenses. (Or so I hope. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yeah, you should tint them instead. I heard putting a VTEC sticker on the headlights increase light output to that of the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyKid5 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think the OP is referring to the internal housings, and not the lenses. (Or so I hope. ) Yes, I was refereing to painting the internal housing. Haha but in hindsight, maybe I'll just paint the lenses.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
