how to black out headlights

[speedy2000ls]

i blacked out my headlights on my 2000 integra.

take them out

preheat oven to 300 o

one at a time put the headlight on a cookie sheet and in the oven makeing shure it doesent touch the walls.

bake for 5min it will be hot. take out and slightly pull up the plastic tabs. be carefull if you pull too hard you will break the plastic lens.

remove the part you want painted. i used a high temp paint.

put back in the oven for another 5 min so the glue will soften back up then remove and press together.

that looks sick as hell

my integras silver so im not really gonna do the whole black theme even though i got dark windows, id consider it if i had like a cf hood or somethin

heres my old accord which i blacked out the same way.

wow, i knew it could be done, i just didnt kno how lol. thanx speedy. its looks sick, and it should look nice on my milano red body with the already blacked out corner lights

 

[adoboracer]

wait...how does it look wen u turn on the headlights tho? is it dimmer?

 

[Melt]

no its not dimmer, you DO NOT paint the reflector, you only paint the outer edges.

one THIN layer just to decrease glare from the lense is what ill pry end up doing

 

[silva95teg]

just for your guys info those painted parts should be baked in the ovenfor a while beofre you put them back into the light. Some paints release fumes when you go to put the light back together that will cause haze on the inside of the lense.
