Posted by Dreamspawn, Mar-07-07 05:36 AM
I recently saw a 2gb eclipse with GTO tail light covers so i thought i would dive in and look at the other things they offerd and found some nice looking headlight covers. I'm curious if anyone has them on there car here if so could i get some pics PLEASE!

if you really want to get out and take these on and off every time u do night driving these are for you. i had them on a car way WAY back before they offered black housing headlights, biggest pain in the ass ever.

uh oh AAS, i hear nothing but negitive feedback about them. Be careful with what you do with them i hear they suck at getting orders out and off the shelf and if you cancel they make you pay a restocking fee when they didnt even take it off they shelf. Be WARNED.

You may have better luck finding them if you have the correct product name GTS

these?





they suck. if you go to the Cecil county landfill you might be able to find mine that I threw away months ago. Tossed the tail light covers too, and just got a set sprayed with Night Shades

Close the ones i was looking at had holes where the lights where. So does anybody know of any after market headlights that use the stock bulbs i'm thinking i might just do that and have the black part panted the color green i'm having the car painted.

pull apart your 2gb lamps and paint the inner housing on them

i dont have the ones with the holes u mentioned. they look like fake projetors imo. here some pics of what my car used to look like. i dont use them anymore

why wouldnt you recommend the rear?

if you look at the pic youll notice the dark circles. they are velcro adhesive pads and thats how they are held on. at nightwhen the lights are on it looks real tacky, that why i wouldnt recommend it. if your goin for that look, you could always spray it with a transparent black paint/ i forget what it is called but yea it looks the same

You can also typically find it on eBay, but be careful and make sure it is actually nightshades, and not the testors model tint some people try to sell.

Just be sure to put the coats on light and smooth, it is easy to go too dark. I recently took mine off because they were too dark and will be doing them soon again.

The other option is a tinting film (similar to the 3M headlight protectant films) avaialble here:

I sold a pair of those Pro-beam covers to someone on the board. They look okay, but I recommend just getting new headlights.
