Added something different to my headlights tell me what you think

[ambientwater]

i was going for a look like the newer civics have and some newer Volvo's with the black outlining of the headlights sample:

although i wasn't quite ready at opening my headlights i was lead to this as my alternative ( easily removeable )



I might do this with my corners so that it flows better ...and maybe witth my tails too no sure though yet

The black outlining you see on the Civic headlight is actually the housing of the headlight painted black. The headlight lens is still entirely clear.

Props on the creativity, but you'll likely get the look you're going for by simply blackhousing your headlights. Check out the DIY section.

I like it. I've seen people paint the eyelid portion before, but the vertical line is something I've never seen anyone do. Done cleanly like you did it, it looks pretty good. It's definitely going to chip over time, though. At least it probably won't be difficult to remove and redo when necessary.

yea i know it's the housing that's why i said i was still afraid to open up my headlights so for now i would go with this look

yes i know it will, but yes its not that hard to redo....also you have to center the line between the high/low beam perfectly if not it will be projected at night. I got the pass right but i'll have to redo the driver but it's not to bad...next it's the corners then the tails


But Thanks Guys

I must say I do like it... i really would like to c it in person befor i try it tho nice job bro

[crazymikey]

I like that alot. It suits your car very well.

I actually did a similar thing on my old Mercury Mystique back in about 2004.

Different, Creative, and I like it! Props man!!
I may try this on my car soon.

looks clean...just stretch it over to the corners...and diggin the license plate..hahahaa

i like it. goes well with the blue and black trim.

[Tippey764]

I like it minus the eye lid part. If that was thinner and it was the same width as the rest of the border it would look better

[crazymikey]

I think it would great on 1pc headlights. That way when you match the corner light, you're not doing 2 seperate lenses.

[accordztech]

eww, looks ugly and tacky.

I would of taken it apart, and "trim" the headlight housing, where 1/2'' on the chrome housing is painted low gloss black. That would give it that "edge" appeal, and a very oem look.

Its not hard to open these headlights, heat them up like crazy and they pop right off.

Matches well i kinda did the same thing an while back on my tails and agree doing this on an 1p would be way easyer it took an good 2 years before it started chipping at all....

[ambientwater]

Thanks again everyone for your input... as for the people who disliked it or thought it could be done better you are all entitled . Yes I will be doing the corners and tails..as soon as i buy another can of paint. I kinda broke that one.

[crazymikey]

I think it would great once you do it on the inside of the glass. Something totally different to break away from everyone blackhousing their lights.

Pioneer this shit!
