Painted my headlights today..pics inside

[ninobrn99]

So I decided to paint my headlights today. We'll see how they hold up over time. I followed this guide and this one.

It's been detailed enough that I don't think I need to walk through my process. I will say that I did 4 coats of Krylon Gloss black and 2 of Krylon clear UV protectant. I used Clear RTV silicone gasket maker.

Enjoy:

Thanks.

No, I didn't. Not sure if I just want to open them up and tint the amber lenses or order some clears.

they turned out nice, good job

Remembered reading that when someone tried they're corners, they melted lol. Mine were $26 a pair for the black with clear lens

If I were to do it, I would use a heat gun. I think I'm going to order a pair eventually.

When I did my corners I didn't heat them at all... The lens sits in kind of a groove thing so as long as you can get a screwdriver into the groove and pop it, it'll go just fine....

Very nice. This is one of the easiest mods to do and in my opinion, one of the best. I really dislike the stock lights...especially on a black X.

My girlfriend saw the "range rover lights" thread....I may end up tinting the clear to get the look.
