i got bored with my projectors so i took apart my stock headlights by the way u have all seen by putting them in the oven and so forth....painted the pieces gloss black and put some sylvania silverstars in to give them a better look and performance......heres a few pics from the process and the final product......tell me what u think...

 

Looks good I've been wanting to do that for awhile now just havent found the time.

 

VERY VERY!!!! VERY nice job man....i love stock lights with the BLACK housing..just love it....

great job man...

 

you didnt leave any of the corner light reflector unpainted?

 

nice like the look,how long did it take and wats the cost?

 

well i was going to leave the corner chrome inside as well but as i pulled the tape off it pulled the chrome off in spots so i just painted it all black...i think it still looks good anyways....the tape i used wasnt the right kind i dont think....they actually make a green automotive tape i saw it at autozone....i think that might work better....the paint is about $15 and then if u want to clear coat like i did that might add another 5 or so....you could prolly do this in one day.....not putting them back in and everything prolly just to let the paint dry well...but i left them out in the sun as i painted them and they dried quickly.....its not to hard at all...this was my first try at somethin like this and wasnt to bad at all.....i can give u more details on the actual process if u want just ask me and ill IM them to u or maybe even just put them up on here....thanks for the comments

 

Looks good. I did the same with a spare set of headlights I had for my CB7. It looks good and I like the output as well. All I need now is Amber corners.
Nice write up

 

Now it's time for the HID retrofit.

 

ive seen those and havent really read into em much....wouldnt even know what to get to do it...but i have other plans right now....my springs just got in so its goin down this weekend hopefully....

 

Lowering? I just assumed you were going to do some off-roading. I think that's what Honda thought I would be doing with my 06. That thing needs to come down about 3 inches.

 

yeah i know man it needs some work....i got some stechs in for it and i think it should give it a nice stance...

 

Wow...looks pretty clean.

 

I have a friend that also made some black housings.

 

While we're posting our work...LOL

 

Looks good.

On one of the pics you masked of the back and side section of the turn signal area, but from the finished pics it looks like you blacked everything....

--> On a second look...perhaps it's looking like that since you are using LED turn signals? And not regular 1157 bulbs?


If you blacked it all off then that prevents your turn signal from working properly.

Also..did you reuse the sealant? Any fogging yet?


Clean car

 

yeah in one of the pics it was masked off....but when i pulled the tape it pulled the chrome off so i just painted it all black......havent had any problems with the signal yet....and i did reheat them when i put them back together and the original sealant did harden back up well....but to make sure we got some clear sealant and put it all around the cracks and anywhere water could possibly get in....no problems so far after washings and such.....to prevent the chrome coming off i think i would try the actual automotive tape they sell at autozone or oreillys....its green i think....i think it would work better than what i used....i used the 3M painting tape....

i really like those inspire lights....wish i could make mine look like that....

 

Nice job...all you need now is the ITR lip, that would kick ***, a nice set of rims and a good drop.....

 

it got dropped the other day....check the last pages of the accord pic forum for the pics....havent seen the itr lip i dont think on accord....and the rims, im looking for the right set.....

 

looks great did u use a flat or gloss paint

 

man those look great..I wanna do mine but I can't seem to find the time right now

 

used gloss black duplicolor paint from autozone....

 

H2290 yea man i definately agree with you on that, why does the new accord sit so dam high? i have a coupe 4cyl 5spd, i feel like im in a truck because im so used to driving in cars lower than mine... the worst part about it is that i cant touch the suspension on the new car QQ. im gunna go cry myself to sleep now.

 

some pics of the lights after lowering....need some wheels now?
