Icon6 90 Accord headlights

As you know the 1990 Honda Accord has glass headlights with the plastic back on them. My question is (I have looked but cannot find any) does any one know of any diy headlight modification for this vehicle? I would like the "Angel Eye" effect if possible, if anyone knows any good mods please hit me up! Thanks!

You can paint the bottom of the housings black. You can do angel eyes. Both of these require baking in the oven to separate the glass. You can tint the glass any color. And you can upgrade to HID bulbs. But you can buy one piece angel eye housings.(very sexy but expensive)

Tinting the glass sounds cool, and with the angel eye effect it would be awesome!! Is there a write up? I have searched for the angel eyes but cant find them anywhere. What colors are legal when it comes to tinting your lights, anybody know? Oh yeah, what does painting the bottom of the housing black achieve?

I think I saw a thread on DIY projector style headlights, I believe this is what your refering to as angel eye? I dont rememer where I saw it, but I believe he started with a smashed set and used some of the internals, and a piece of metal from something common to make the shrouds they have. It wouldnt be that helpful for some one just with stock headlights though. painting the backs black makes the headlights look black during the day. I would be nice to see a write up on an angel eye mod.

Actually I mean angel eyes as in the BMW park lights. Now that you mention it projectors would NICE. I want a set of the ultimate cb7 headlights! I just want that outer ring glow for my park lights.
