Looks great! I did the same thing on my WRX & it really changed the entire face of the car. I'll eventually do the same for the CL if I can't convince the wife to get rid of it.

It definitely looks sweet.. How does it effect the light at night from reflecting? It would lookk great with other colors I am sure, but I have white... probably no point for me to try it!

haiduc

nice.. looks very jdm-ish.
hey casper.. you can do white.. but it's chrome anyway so it might not make a difference... but i think it would be nice and subtle.

Ridin,

I saw a WRX with the headlight housing is all black, is that what you did to yours? I think that looks much better than stock. 1stgen, nice job

dustbuster4

Looks great! How did you do it?

1StGenCL

Sorry about the dirty car. The part of the headlight being black doesnt effect the light output at all since the reflector part is still chrome. I really dont feel like posting instructions again so please just look for my other post about this and you will find some pretty good instructions thanks

1Fast99Si

Looks real good. Hopefully in a week I will have the car to attempt this with

dustbuster4

Thanks! I didn't realize that you posted the instruction before.

Here's the threads for others:

Lights on:

Sorry the car is filthy

RidinLow

Wow, that head on shot looks awesome! Makes it look like the car is wearing glasses.

ATL, this is what I did to my WRX.

CLpower

dammit, it looks good, i've been planning on doing it but since i'm getting rid of the car soon i didn't bother. I may just have to try it anyways

rmstoico

looks sweet, even though i prefer the all chrome/cleaner look. buts its all about originality in my book, keep it up!

YBlegal

Can anyone tell me where to buy the headlights for cheap???

i was planning to do this for very long time!!!

but couldnt find any headlights!!

thanks guys!!!

YBlegal

Hey 1stGenCL

since yours came out good you want to sell me the other set thats not painted???

thanks man!!!

CLpower

i'll out bid you

1StGenCL

Sorry but i only have one extra headlight for the passenger side. Got it off some guy on H-A.net for just the shipping cost The drivers side is the original light and the extra passenger side one is pretty pitted.

CLpower

did you lose any strength in your lighting?

97AcuraCL

holy crap thats sexy! i wanna do mine! i wanna do mine! TYTE WORK man ~

1StGenCL

Not that i can tell but our lights suck to start with. Getting HIDs soon so it wont matter too much

97AcuraCL

think u can get some pics that are kinda further away and at an angle? Just so that you can kinda see the whole big picture of the car with the lights? I mean ya got one str8 up on the front and then one close up but can't really just get a general idea of the car with teh lights.

1StGenCL

Sorry not exactly sure what you are asking but i will try my best alittle later today. Did you check all of the pics in my album?

MikeSwing

Hey that looks really good. What kind of fog lights are those?

1StGenCL

They are Tenzo 800 series i think. They are the plasma whites with built in blue city lights. I dont think i really like them on my car anymore what does everyone else think? they make the car look cheap to me

MikeSwing

I think the fog ligths look good. How do they light up the road? How much are they & where can you get them?

YBlegal

i was going to get some hid look a like fog light too but on our car your right

it makes it look cheap for some reason...

so im going with the factory fog lights

just my opinion!!!

1StGenCL

Thanks for the input I think i might just get rid of them and see if i can get some factory ones.

Mike Im not exactly sure where i got them, some place online for like $70 i think. They do an ok job of lighting up the road but i rarely use them.

1StGenCL

97AcuraCl - is this what you want?





Check here for more pics

dustbuster4

Man your car looks fantastic!

I also recommend the factory fogs. dajuice27 just got his off of eBay today for under $130.00 plus shipping for the entire kit (I got mine from the same guy for $99.00 plus shipping).

CLpower

oh man, thats just what my car needs, along w/ all the chrome painted black.

Casper98CL

keep those fogs but relocate them... hide them in the mouth btwn or behind the black plastic... they look cheesy out front like that... too noticeable....
