New Headlight Setup.....

New Headlight Setup..... UPDATED PICS

I really wanted to bring something new to the table as far as our headlights go cause I really didn't like all the chrome and amber in our head lights so I decided to do some painting. I also installed TRS lenses while I was in there. I will take better pics later including night shots I hope you guys like it. What do you guys think.

Pretty cool, how difficult was the process?

Hm pretty neat. Any night shots? Is it noticeable with the high beams on?

It isn't really all that difficult.... it's just very time consuming. You just have to follow a headlight disassambly how-to. The rest is spray painting. You don't sand or prime anything and the painting is very foregiving....especially the translucant yellow spraypaint. It covers the chrome pieces very well and evenally. Just don't over spray and get drips, nice light coats. If there are enough people interested I`ll do an indepth how-to with parts, materials, and process.

I`ll take a lot more pics tomarrow after I wash the car, including night shots. The yellow looks very noticable, really clean and crisp, you`ll see tomarrow.

those look sweet. I noticed there wern't many aftermarket options availave for the MS6/MS3 headlight. Good job .

Yes it is. I actually used the foglight I broke (I broke it trying to pry it apart.... baking them for 15mins at 200 degrees dosent do anything to the glue so don't try!!!). The foglight cracked right around the outside edge, so I used a yellow overlay to tint it for now until I figure out a way to take the foglights apart. (I'm hoping the overlay keeps the foglight sealed so no moisture gets in). But eventually I want to get in there and spray the foglight to match the headlight.

and don't laugh at the site, it took me weeks to find a website that carried what I was looking for. I recommend buying what you think may work and then using it on a mirror to see if that is the desired effect, this stuff is not that expensize so experiment... thats what I did. Searching stained glass stuff worked for me. Hope that helps.

No opinions.... I thought this would attract more comments than this. So much for contributing to the forum. (scratch)

Are there laws against tinting your heads/fogs?

 

[DRKNYTE]

I`m sure there are but they aren't tinted... I painted the inside reflective parts with a legal color... yellow!

 

[oaklandopen]

um...it's very nighttime on the east coast right now and i don't have a ******* clue where round lake is. me wanna see pickies

 

[DRKNYTE]

I have to figure out how to take night time pics, cause they turned out terrible. I'll try to mess with the settings and get some better ones up. Here is some for now. This pics just wont cut it, they don't do the over look justice. SERIOUSLY!!

 

[oaklandopen]

those kind of pictures can be extremely hard to pull off. if your camera allows it, just bracket your pictures. you might end up taking 100 pics but one of them is bound to turn out nicely

I love that look!!! I have the yellow Lamin-x over my headlights and I might give this a try?http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=156567&stc=1&d=1253368878
