i'm planning on getting blackhoused aftermarket for my 02 coupe

and anybody has experience with them>???

and how's the beam pattern on it??

i'm too lazy to bake my headlight and kinda scared of messing it up so..

thanks in advance!

 

I had some for about 2 years. The beam pattern isn't perfect, it's supposed to be adjustable but i could never get the horizontal adjustment to work. Fitment wasn't 100% but it was very close. They are the Depo brand purchased from procarparts.com

I painted my stock housings awhile later, i melted the headlight a little bit but overall it wasn't too hard to do

save yourself the money and do it yourself its really not that hard nothing you can mess up just make sure you seal them correctly when you put them back together

 

i purchased a set way back when and i liked them but aftermarket lights sux so i sold them. Then i attempted to do my own and i fuxed up, became enraged and smashed both housings. i think i still have an aneurism from that day. point is, i tried again on another set and they came out perfecto. just give it a try.

 

thanx guys!!

i guess my headlamp is going into oven..

hope i bake it right...ah.. .i should search now

 

if your afraid to bake just get a heat gun and use that

 

heat gun???

hum...how long do i bake it tho??

 

anybody have DIY instruction on making OEM black house lamp?/?


can't seems to find from search option...

or am i just bad searcher???(if that's a word)

 

400degree for 5 minute

 

thanks iam7head!

how about black coat and spray paint??

what kind should i use??

 

i have a pair of black housings for sale. ill sell them real cheap

 

is it OEM or just aftermarket?

cuz i'm looking more into OEM w/ amber piece

 

Are you talking about the weird Angel eyes or just the regular black housings? If so, I don't see why they'd be that hard to install/make work.

 

bake at 200 degrees for 5-10 mins...best to bake at low heat instead of at high for a small amount of time. You might warp your headlight doing that....my .02!!!
