You can do it on your stock headlight, You can paint it white if u want, once the reflector portion is not painted its ok to paint it whatever color u want. Check the members ride section, i think they have quite a few cars with blackhoused headlights.

i might test out white ones...if i dont like them i guess i will have to go black but black and/or white the cops wont do anything correct?

wouldnt painting them make ur headlights shitty though on the highway or am i not understanding it to much?

[blk93]

the most importatn part of the lgihth reflection comes from the backside on the headlight

meaning if you paint the flat parts around it, it only takes away from stray light, which isnt significant enough to make a difference

also, the back unpainted part is a mirror and in daytime slgihtly relfects the painted parts..making it look all blackhoused, but its still jsut as effective for light output

you guys think i should try the white? or will white even show up enough as black does?

[dohcb7]

i think u should go with the white ones if u want... it be really cool to see a cb7 with white headlights just keep up posted with some pics if u do try it

[CisForCB7]

will do post pix if i give it a try

[CisForCB7]

you know when they black house them and then where the brights are they do the orange/yellow look thing

why do they do this? for looks? or wat?

[Night Wolf]

CB7. I even posted pics. as far as I know Im the first to have a white CB7 with white housed lights.

quick question i may have missed it in the DIY but to re-seal the headlgihts does it take any new glue or something or does the same glue re-heat?
