Default DIY EG Black housing headlights. 56k, back da fawk up...

First, you gotta rip the bumper off and make it look like youve got a hardcore bodykit.


Here is the before....before I baked its ***. (215degrees for about 15-20min)


Separate the lense and show off the bling!


After masking it all off and scuffing a little of the crome off, and a lot of layers of paint, you gout yo'self some black housing!


After pressing the lense and housing back together, I cooked them again to make to glue a little softer and then used my muscle to make sure they connected tightly.

And there you have it! viola!


can i get someone to possibly RESIZE these beasts? or even tell me how and I will gladly do it.

I helped my friend with his 02 accord headlights, on his we sprayed the blinker chrome housing a thin layer and it still shows up pretty good... if you bake your blinkers and get some black housing for those, it look sweet..but other than that great DIY

...by the way, given that ive never seen your post, i would say i was going by a standardized temp and time. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by KOALA YUMMIES &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I'm sure plently of people have seen this done </TD></TR></TABLE> And in reality the only similarity between my post and yours IS the temp. If you want me to get techincal, i can do it; you used model paint, I used spray paint and sanded. I inadvertantly made a similar post, but there were obvious differences. And just like you once had, I have a stock motor under the hood...d15 like A LOT of people...Yah, some of us are on budget and only 17 years old...hence a DIY project. So honestly, you are the type of person that i have no respect for...such lack of self descency that you result to making fun of somebody elses corner lenses? And by the way, I dont see any engine bay shots on your car. WHO GIVES A **** get owned biitch...

I take it you didn't go to gradeschool.

Lean to punctuate, learn to spell, learn to talk like a normal human being and stop acting like a lame wanna-be "stunna".
