[jdmciv]

I want to put new headlights on my car...I like how those bluish-yellow lens ones look or the black housing ones but I dont really know any suggestions?

[jdmciv]

There ya go.. instead of spending 100's you spend like 10 bucks and a few hours.

thanx dood...

No problem.. and most people get freaked out when they see that you bake your headlights... yes.. it is completely safe...they do not melt or get messed up in anyway as long as you follow directions..

 

[jdmciv]

does the ion blue tint just occur when you do all those steps?

 

[joe7987]

no.... it doesnt, you'll have to do that yourself.. what color is your car? I have a black civ.. and I painted the housing black..and it looks sweet as hell...

 

[jdmciv]

mine is red...I was thinkin all clear or black housing as well?

 

[joe7987]

sounds good.. but I think it would probably be tight as hell if you could get a red color that matches your car color and just make everything flow better...

I agree red w/ red would look sweet i am thinking of doing my headlights this weekend... Depends on the weather.

 

[joe7987]

I think it would be hella sweet... I've never seen it done.. but the reason my black headlights look so good is because they make it all flow together... Whenever you do it, make sure you free up a lot of time. This isnt an hour DIY.. this is gonna take a while... especially if you've never done anything like this before.

yea...I am def. thinkin about the red on red..I will post pics when im done...If i dont like it i can always paint over i guess, i just hope it looks good the first time.

exactly. I don't see why it wouldnt look good though.. and it would be really original

 

[jdmciv]

Yea, the only thing is it might look tacky you kno, but i'm sure it'll be alright

 

[joe7987]

Doubt it, go for it....good luck....post pics. Liz.. I didnt even notice your post up til now..lol... good luck with yours as well..post pics..
