So ive owned the car for a week and a day now and wanted to do something bout my headlights on my 02 es1...i wanted to paint the inside of the headlights black and keep the amber lense on for that jdm look....thats my whole goal with this car anyways.....so i know how to do it and all but i really dont wanna mess with these headlights just in case i ever want to revert it back to stock....so does anyone know where i can buy a pair that have already been made like that....or can you buy just the amber lense from honda....if both of these questions answer no, then what type of paint are you guys using for your headlights.....thanks for all the help....

 

i've seen people using semi-gloss black to rustoleum black metallic or something like that. you can either do it yourself, find some write-ups (clubrsx.com + many other sites) and just take your time and be careful. Or you can find someone who have done it, a lot of people have a reputation for doing good DIY headlights on clubrsx so you may try there. Good Luck.

 

semi-gloss krylon

 

Try 7thgencivic.com. Always guys selling lights there. If I saw this last week I would have sold you mine. Blacked out looks much better then stock!!!

 

there is a very good write up on http://www.honda-acura.com under the diy section.

 

yea go to 7thgencivic.com

The dIY is easy, ive done 7 or 8 headlights three being mine due to me wanting diff color for the housing... i did gunmetal, black, and more of a metalic black.... and then just black for the others, some with or with ou the amber. IF you want some that are already done for you... try to go to http://www.robearracing.com and go under lighting section. and they have some done already, black and gunmetal, the thing about their already done ones, they are with out the amber piece, u can always buy some OEM rep from them and then do those by urself. U'r more than welcome to hit me up if you have any questions... like i said ive done it quite a bit of times. good luck

 

hey man, thanks for ur help....yea, i want to buy another pair of headlights anyways and keep the ones on my car just in case i ever want to revert to stock....but yea, ive been thinkin bout buying those already blacked headlights cuz ive seen then floatin around on ebay...i just wasnt sure if honda sold that amber piece seperately or if you actually had to buy the entire housing....oh well, its lookin like im gonna have to fabricate em somehow either way so ill definately keep you in touch 02civic_rida....thanks man
