Has anyone tried painting the headlight housing (inside) the same color as the body? aka the new vette' style. I think it would look really cool and would be something different from the same old black.

Looks good .. but what brand/color did you use? Just black? I would have used Duplicolor Graphit (gunmetal) .. it makes them look much more real, since real CTR's aren't black, but a smoked/gunmetal color. But, looks good none the less.

Re: baked headlights (todaspecsi)
Good job on the baking. Just looks exactly like mines. I liked leaving the turnsignal part unpainted.
btw...heres a pix of a ebp-si with color matched headlight housings. Dont click the link, copy and paste it into your browser.

I actually thought about that, but i didnt know where to get it done at so that the paint is good quality. It would be hard to find a can of EBP for my headlights. I think it would look good.

Sorry, the page you requested was not found.
All I saw was a pic of some crummy house on Yahoo. Dammit, I wanted to see the pretty lights.

Many people have asked how I painted them, so in return i threw up a quick webpage:

It may take a while to load because of the picture sizes. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause, especially for those who are using dial up. Sorry
If you have questions you can email or I know there are plenty of people out there who know how to do this because I learned from them. Enjoy.

Re: baked headlights (todaspecsi)
In short. Put ur oven to 300 degrees. Put the headlights in for 12 minutes. Take them out with oven mitts. Open headlights via screwdriver. Paint trim and NOT reflectors. Seal them up with clear epoxy.

Re: baked headlights (Cheivic)
I painted these for myself and then sold them. I painted them a Graphite metalic. I also installed the city lights into them.
On my car
Same lights on my friends car
Yours looks good
