Wassup guys,

I just finished clearing out my headlights and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Damn, it looks so much cleaner and sexier with hyperwhites all around, and no orange...haha. I highly recommend everyone that is thinking about doing it, to just do it. It's not hard and you'll be happy with the results. Many thanks for the detailed write-up and advice. Peace~

what instructions did you use to clear out your head lights.

invzn GST wrote up something a while back (a couple weeks ago) and it was pretty good if I do say so. I helped him do his. pretty simple. I put blue bulbs in my headlights for the turn signals. =)

can you get me the directions for it? I wanna clear my lights.. and have they vere foged up on you yet?

i did mine about three weeks back....and they are fine......lost the link to the writeup though. I'll try and find it.

Nappy Eclipse!!!! my long lost nappy brother

What kind of paint do I use to paint the housings, and where all do I paint? TIA!

you can use automotive paint...

Where can I get it? Will it match up to the stock mitsubishi red?

I have tried a couple different reads from auto parts stores and they are off just a little. The closest is the cardinal red from duplicolor I think. Uts just a little les orange than our stock red but looks real nice. I have decided to talk to Ryan with the silver bad ass car cuz he can get an exact match mixed up in a spray can for like $25 + ship. Its a little pricey but how can you put a price on perfection. ;)

for most people the cardinal red will do.

So to paint the headlights, do u use a spray or brush it on?

Definitly spray.....

Otherwise you will see all the brush strokes and sh%t.... You don't even need to tape anyhting off. The part that you paint comes right out of the housing with some screws.

Do you think I could use the cardinal red to paint my tail light center piece too?

If anyone needs color matched paint, shoot me an e-mail and I can ship one out to you. It's a spray, not a brush...you definately want to use spray on something like this. Cardinal red would look pretty good and would be a lot cheaper, but I'm a perfectionist so of course I'd always go with the perfect match.

If I went with plain silver, instead of the color matched pearl silver that is my actual paint code, I dont think it would have turned out this well.

I just got to say, I LOVE your car, it looks so clean!!

Thx, -- oh and as far as your rear centerpiece goes, I would have a bodyshop do it, since its such a large piece and needs to have the 'gloss' effect the rear bumper and hatch have. With smaller pieces, the color-matched paint is perfect, but with something like that go to a bodyshop.
