Has anyone tried or thought of painting the chrome part of the headlight black? I've thought about clearing out my lights but I can also paint the chrome part of the housing to make it look like the 2003 headlights instead of paying 350+ bucks for it.

Did anyone do this process for the 2001-2002 CL's?

 

Soopa did silver it on his CL. Looks pretty sweet.

 

I would love to have bodycolored headlights, if I had a red or blue car. Soodpa, aren't your headlight houseings painted flat silver? Got any pics?

 

Wonder if body paint would withstand the heat of the HIDs? I'm thinking about doing it once the clear diffusers for the 99 TL are made. On a silver TL I think it will look sweet.

 

ya mine are silver.

heres a pic of silver lights i did on a silver rsx.





and heres my CL's headlights :P




hehe.




I wish someone with a red car would do their lights body color.

 

NSX - Yes. I've used body color matched paint before... no probs.

The housing really doesnt get that hot.

 

Word, I would love to see blue or red housings on a car. Soopa, i wonder how your lights would look on a silver car. no leaks huh, are they for sale or trade?

 

I have done mine with a flat blakc, there are pics in the link under post accident. I like the look, good luck!

 

rondy... naa i never had a problem with them. but their ruined now thanks to bambi.


rondy, if you want to do your lights silver just send them or bring them to me one day... ill do it for cost of materials for you... prolly like $20-30.

 

rondy, i havent done a silver cl... but that RSX i did is the same silver as in my lights... matches damn good.


can do real body color too... but that costs another $90 for paint.

 

if you go to www.towerpaint.com the paints like $20 for spray can. You give them your color code and they will provide a can for you. I bought one for my Vogue Silver Integra, and it matched perfectly.

 

Adam... I'm gonna try an get a spare set of headlights from someone who installed 03 heads on an -1 or something. I wanna do something different tho. Besides just silver, cuz I don't think it will be noticeable. Black is done already on the 03's. Lemme comeup with an idea. thanks for the hook up, i'll hook you up too.

gloss black would do the trick but metallic charcoal would be even betta

 

I did the for myself and Moomaster99. The biggest pain in the ass was masking the teardrop shaped blinker light since u can use the amber piece as a shield from paint for the lower marker. I used a black metallic from Rust-o-leum.

 

okay, Thanks a bunch guys. The black metallic sounds great. Ill post results by next week. It'll be on a white CLs for anyone who's interested.

 

That's a great idea... Gunmetal metallic...

 

I did unsure's accord headlights in a black mettalic...

ask him for the pics.
