How To: DIY black out headlights

[ClutchEm2]

Nice work! I did mine last weekend and I didnt have to put it in the oven. I just used a screwdriver starting at the top corner and pried the lens apart. I used gloss black and didnt sand. Came out pretty good.

Headlights look good.....

and your paint looks clean as hell. You must take really good care of it.

Thanks, i only have had the car for like 6 months, so i guess the previous owner did take good care of the paint. I just recenltly polished and waxed it.

Man, those came out perfect. This past week I wen to go repaint mine and sand and buff the lense and ended up melting the headlight because I am an idiot and was not paying attention so I had to put my projectors back in. Great job though, also, where did you buy your headlights from and how much were they?

Where did you buy your headlights from and how much were they? Cuz it looks like yours do not have a reflective piece in them for the amber part.

Hey, I was just wondering, after you blacked out your headlights, how does the bulb in the little circle part below look since it is painted, or did you even put those bulbs back in? Would you happen to have any night pics where I can see, or could you take some, because I just got ahold of another set of stock headlights and was going to do this again and I am just trying to decide on what to mask off and what not to.
