Blacked out headlights
Just a question, Is there a way to black out my headlights on my 02 tl's? I have seen some pics in the member gallery of cars with this mod. Or is it just new headlights that you buy???
Thanks,
J.P.

Perhaps the car you've seen had the a-spec headlight housing. They come in Blue or Black ( Smoked ).
367.00 ( US $$ ) each from an Canadian Acura dealership.

Mr Hyde,
Actually, there are several Can. Acura dealerships that I've found that will sell you any A-Spec part. The only downside is that you have to pay a lot when it goes thru customs or to avoid, make a trip to Can..
If you need Can. Acura #'s, let me know..

So far I've had 1 problem with fogging. My method works and if it does fog I warranty the work. I would redo them for free.

If I open up my headlights will it be obvious which part to paint and which part not to? I think I'm just not getting it cause I'm not looking at a headlight right now...
