#58920, "Poll question: Headlight decision help"


          

I'm wondering what people would think of the painted headlights on a red car (w/black roof) I think it looks kinda cool, but then again i better like it because i was messing with photoshop for about an hour to figure it out.

Oh... DR1665, sorry for not asking if i could borrow your headlights to use, but oh well...

There was one guy on here who had a red car and painted the headlights red. That looked awesome and I would recommend you doing that!

I would have to say I have never a DSM with painted headlights that I thought looked good.

My vote:Stay stock

ok, thanks, i was thinking that it might look cool because my roof is also black....

and it was farmdogg who has a red talon with the red headlights, that was a cool car, but i'm not for red headlights he also had the widemouth talon front (97-98)


if not black, how about a grey color?

Well it kind of depends...what year is your eclipse? If it was 97-99, yeah of course you would leave it stock...but if it was 95-96 I'd recommend spraying it black. I got a red eclipse (with 95-96 headlights) and I thought it looked a lot better with black housings. I followed one of the members postings on doing it...looks great!

was, is, it all means the same, red headlights on the 95-96 bumper will pass, but it looks badass on the 97-98 like you have, it looks so mean, but i have the smiley, so i might either stay stock, or if i get real (REAL) bored, black, maybe a dark grey (it'd have to be shiny though)

LMAO when I read that up there! I only wish I could see your photochop sir! Come to think of it, at midnight PST, none of your pics seem to be working! emoji

I'm gonna say go black. Then get your rims PC'd black. Then get some night shades and smoke yuor tail lights. After that, smoke a cigarette. It will look so good it will be like sex.

Red car + black outs on the front and rear + black rims = badass imo. If any of your pics worked right now (could be KM.com related - I'm getting a 404), I would PS some ideas upon it.

I'll see this tomorrow I'm sure! emoji

Well, your car was the last thing I touched before I had the final smoke of the day (or was it the first of the next day?). I hope you enjoy...

BEFORE...

AFTER...


I also gave you a "chop drop" sir. emoji

that looks cool as hell, when i get some money i might just try that, powder coated rims would be sweet, but i might have the machined face left alone, not sure though

I'd paint em black. The chrome is always too shiny and out of place on the 95-96 (I had one and painted it). Plus it'll match your roof then. With black rims, it will all look sweet.

BTW..Love the new sig.. emoji
