im about to attempt DIY black housing, im trying to remove the headlights but i cant seem to figure out what bolts to take out, im half way there and i wanna know what bolts to take out, and no i do not have a manual and just want a quick answer.

 

gotta pull the bumper

 

MMMM I just did mine last night. Ya gotta take the bumper off and then you'll see the screws needed to take the lights out. I blacked out my headlights using rustoleum's hammered looked paint. OH GOD I fell in love with them. I'll post some pics here real soon!

 

ok i took em off and painted them now my new question is what do i use to reseal them??do i put it back in the oven?

 

well here are my headlights, im done with em, they turned out alright





comments are welcome

 

looks good , what paint did u use? and what did u seal them with?

 

thanks i used gloss black paint i got form my local hobby shop, it wasent high temp though, turned out great, i sealed them with what was originally used, i just pushed them back together and popped them back in the oven and wen i took em out, i pressed them together more and ima let them cool for 24 hours.

 

word nice job

 

jonny05 What kind of corners lights are u gonna use with those black housing headlights??

 

im gonna get knock off clear corners from http://www.matrixracing.com they are 14.99 which is pretty cheap. i am most likely gonna keep them clear so they look like the ones made by stanley or im going to black them out as well

 

Make sure you go with these, anything else looks gh3y!!!! (IMO)

 

TxTuner is right anything else is Th3 gh3y...

this is my car with them on

 

where can i find those corners???? on the net

 

hey bone stock, where did you get those bumper lenses, ive been trying to look for those for a long time?

 

I would of sold you the bumper lenses but I got into an accident and one of them is broken. They were on the car when i bought it. the corners you can get it off ebay. It's about 25-30 + shipping

 

can someone post pics of which bolts to remove...i tried taking off the headlights before and they wouldnt snap loose...any pics...

 

OT

how do you take off the grill on a 97 accord?

I took off all the visible screws and I was wondering if they had clips on the inside or something else, I don't want to brake anything.

update:
im hella pissed off, i reinstalled my headlights after i DIY'd them and they didnt fit well, there is a 1/4 inch gap inbetween the bottom part of the headlights and the front bumper. anyone else have this problem? also i took my a long *** time to put the headlights back in
