got bored and decided to mess around with some vht niteshades, the headlights didnt' look right, so i decided to try taping off and spraying them this way:
Note: For some reason vht didn't want to adhere to the headlights, cleaned thoroughly and it worked. I still need to touch up and clear the whole thing, then wet sand. Also need to take sharp knife gently around the tape-off areas because i didn't give them time to dry i had an emergency mid-project.
However, i've taped of spots of tail lights (reverse lights) to be sprayed and had great success before, so i probably wouldn't have to do any of this again if i had just a) waited till it was warmer and b) allowed more time to dry.
Not sure if this is "original" i haven't seen anybody else try this, and personally i like it better than the aftermarket housings and it's much cheaper. (14 dollars a can for this stuff on ebay). I call my cheapo creation "rover headlights" because they look like wannabe rover lights.
Anyway, check it out!
here's the vht niteshades on the tail lights & third brake light
here is the before:
and after:
never had problems with vht niteshades adhering on to any other plastic, so i'd say it's a pretty safe, easy mod. Surely it was the wax they put on the headlights at the dealership they told me about.
Let me know what you think!
