Tyzing

I was hoping someone could give me a DYI for blacking out my headlights, I know there are clearing headlights DYI but I wanted to know the difference, and I wanted to know what you guys think about blacked out (they call it blacked out but really it looks smoked) headlights on my black TL-S

Also, one member told me there is someone who will do this process for a price, but he gave the name but I couldn't find it, anyone know of anyone? Or is it pretty dumb to spend 200 to get someone else to do a pretty easy process

Guys, i Know it's a lot but thank you for contributing to the best acura forum on the net

just run a search in the forums with "Blacked out headlights" and a diy will come up....

I'll put some pics of mine up right now to show you what it should look like:








Sorry for the poor quality. I let my friend borrow my digi cam for graduation. These pics were taken with my Motorola Razr cell phone.

Just a suggestion: dont paint the two side parts (turn signal bays) black. Leave it chrome like i did and just paint around the outside. It looks a little too dark with the turn signals painted in. Then again... if thats your thing.

If you're really lazy and dont want to do it... then send me a PM. I'm thinking of selling these since I'll be getting a WDP TL-S.. and I'm not sure if they'll look good or not.

just in case youre "short school bus special" I've gone thru the trouble of finding it for you.

The guy uses silver paint in this DIY. Just use black paint instead and follow the instructions.

BTW: wetsanding the chrome off is not necessary... but it's a good idea to prevent chipping.
