a number of members have them, I'm not a fan of the corners, but if your headlights are in deccent shape, you can make them yourself, if your headlights are beat up, they're not a bad alternative

You should be able to swap the clear corners from yours into these but I've never seen it done

I've got another headlight question.

I picked up a pair of used headlights on ebay. OEM - they're in great shape. I got the mini h1 projectors and am going to do the fliplyricist mod. I also managed to find a can of Vanns amber spray, so I can amber the corners.

I am wondering if I should blackhouse at all, maybe just the bay with the projectors. Or leave it all silver. The car is primrose, though I dream of changing the color to orange or copper someday. That liklihood is slim. The car is all stock in appearance otherwise.

Unless that black is painted on the back of the lens, which it kind of looks like it is.

The lens in the black headlights it is painted on, what I was saying, is you should be able to swap your clear corner from your stock headlight to replace it, I've just never seen it done

That's about as JDM as my penis.

Doesn't look too bad though. Not a fan of the stripes around the corner area.

Well buying replacements head lights is like $ 300 new - Ive seen on Ebay.

I think this is a good buy - being our headlights are all fogged out right now. Either that or buying the Meguiars head light restoration kit - which Ive heard great reviews about.

Or those JDM blackedout headlights -

i've never seen clear look better than blackhoused, on any color car.

^ I think it looks good on the white, cause its a hard contrast.. but on red or green I dont think it would look as good.


Nice CL by the way

I have always liked them as well. I have contemplated buying a set and then getting the parts from fliplyricist and putting those projectors in the originals. But that's going to be down the road so I would have those in there for awhile because I have some body work needs to be done because of a hail storm beat the crap out of my car in places that needs to be fixed as soon as I get some other projects done around this house. My son and I are building a Vortec 350 right now and that has to be done before I do anything else to the Acura
