i want to black out my 95-96 headlights. but i'm not sure which parts of the headlight housing to paint black. does anyone have a write-up?

when you open them up, it all comes apart and you will see what part to paint. the housing is its own separate peice.

hmm... maybe i'll do this myself. what color are you using, gloss or flat black? which do you guys think would look better?

i do them, $50 with return shipping! so it's like $25, i have pics of my work! i might do a write up on it, i'm doing some tomorrow!

anyone have any write ups about doing the tail lights? i have an eagle talon and want to do some customizing to the tail lights, without converting to eclipse.

when i had my altezza's i was tempted to paint them like i did my headlights. but i put the factory tails back on so i'm not touching them.
later

you don't think that black headlights will look kinda weird on a greenish whatever color car you have? my car is white, and i think that if i did them black, it might look strange. ne1 got pics of blacked out 95-96ers on a non-black car? i see that farmdogg did them the same color as his car, and it looks pretty pimp, but... poop-green headlights? white might even look ghey. cya, and post pix if you got em.

Are you referring to the housing for the headlights? If so they are already black... Here is mine in Silver.

nice ryan! looks good. the silver goes with my wheels, engine bay and interior inserts i did. after all, my red is hard to match.
later

they are actually really easy to do jus put them in the oven for like 5 minutes and set the oven a 200 degreess and they should come apart really easy
heres my car with the black headlighst and cleared out turn singal hope it helps

Thx guys, painted the housing in gloss black. it came out great! my car went from nice to evil. now for some reason the headlights are screaming for new wheels.

post some pix, si vous plait. i wanna see the evil olive green clipz. tia

I want to do my headlight housing in black just because it will match my tailights.

>Are you referring to the housing for the headlights? If so they are already black

not on a 95-96 eclipse ry... they're clear/chrome?

twiste:
you are the first person i have seen with those tails, how do you like em?? i'm still not crazy about the center, were you planning on getting it painted? but i still like them better than the normal altezzas though. can you get a pic of them lighted up at night???

I love them cause they are unique...noone else i have seen has them. The center looks good in person though. Yea, Ill take a picture of them as soon as my exhaust is done being installed. Oh, I payed $265 for them but thats from a shop, not off online.

Edit: and the center piece has 2 removable things in the back of the lens so if you want to do the center illum. mod, then it is really easy.

i'll do a write up in a few day WITH PICS !! i'm fixing to operated on a pair !
