    Default Painted Headlights

    I forgot to take a before shot but found an old pic showing the headlights stock. Now painted black and have chrome coated single bulb to get rid of that ugly orange.

    Lookin' good. El_Stig (other forum) did his and they look pretty good in person... barring the paint chip on the cylinder when he put them back together.

    I need to do something with my headlights. I may just buy some prepainted ones, bathurst black (to keep the pearl/flake in the paint) with LRG cylinders. But I dunno yet.

    Yeah I let someone else do it for me but we used a heat gun rather than the oven. Oven would have been much easier, Hyundai really sealed it with a lot glue.

    Looks great! We are thinking about doing this on Lindsey's Coupe as well when we install the DiodeDynamics HID kit.

    Looks pretty good Preston! I've always been a fan of black headlights. Makes it looks angrier. I really like that grille or yours. Is that the Luxon?
