headlights

here are my blacked out headlight photos I promised. Let me know what u guys think. I'm thinking of painting my carbon fiber tails the same black to match. I used semi gloss engine enamel. Perfect for this project IMO. not too shiny but not too dull.

Not bad, I like how you didn't cover up the silver edge of the headlight. And that is a sweet looking lowered B2000 in the left corner of the first pic!

gotta love how people always find something better to look at in the background of my pics other than my car!

Can you see the signals through that? it looks pretty dark. I think the black eyebrows look good even though you have a white car, ties in nicely with the grille bar.

Not bad!

No I blacked them out on purpose. The turn signals are in the center part of the head light. The outside ones are just running lights so I did away with them. I took out the amber lense in there so u can see a faint bit of light through the crack between the black and the headlight part so I replaced that bulb with a blue one. looks pretty good with the running lights on.

I will post some nights pics soon

Thats true huh? No real need for them. Curious to see the night pics but it does look good. I used to black out my stuff with Model Car window tint spray from a hobby store but it was done on the outside and would wear away after 4 or 5 months of washing. When it was dark outside you could easily see the lights, it was pretty transparent stuff.

Look at the middle left picture of the Jeep for two orange reflectors that are now black

it is good to have some visible light from the side though so people don't change lanes into you at night

 

[Donny]

haha whoops, I thought that was where the turn signal was, don't I feel like a nub now!

a nub? (lol)

 

[Donny]

Yes, I suppose that's a more accurate assessment of the situation (second)

Ya but if someone turns into my bright ass white car thats next to them, then I suppose they deserve to pay to fix my car. (thumb)

Not to mention, if they are in a position where they would see my corner light, they would be able to see my headlights first and foremost. If they could only see my corner light then I would have to be far enough ahead of them for them to be able to see my car out of their front windshield.

I had both of my corner lights burn out within a week of each other, and I liked the look of just the front turning lights so I didn't replace them for 3 months. I didn't have any problems. Of course, without the side marker lights and with a black car I see where Nate0123 is coming from.

 

[Buck]

ya with a black car it would be a little more risky

 

[Buck]

here are the night pics as promised.

You can see the blue corners in a few of the pics. Yes I know...kinda pointless, but a subtle touch that makes my car mine... (thumb)

sorry about the blurriness, I had to take the pics with the flash off, and I don't have the most stable hands!
