Painted head light housings
Yea i have searched.
I have been thinking about it for sometime now and just not sure how it will look with my FBP color (painting the housing black of course). I saw that the yellow ITR for sale with the K20 in it has them painted, but i would like to see how they look on a black car before i go out and do it. I dont wana do it then it look like total ****. So if anyone has anypics or anything post them up.
Appreciate it

I agree 100% . Should i have been able to get away with not painting them i probably would not have. The look has grown on me, and i don't dislike the looks of it however i really like the exterior of the car staying as stock as possible.
I painted mine 100% for function and not looks. There would have been a much greater amount of glare produced should i have not painted them.

Does the tint cause your headlights to be less brighter??
