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.

 

u gotta open up the healights usin the oven technique which is most popular.........do a search........then when u open them up u have to get decent heat resistant paint at pepboys autozone etc...........in black of course and paint all the silver in the headlight housing black and majke sure u do a few coats to insure it doesnt chip...............while u got the headlights open mind as well take the yellow reflector to clear em out...but this is up 2 u then reseal em usin sealant like fish tank selant if u dont wanna do this urself..then contact mr he did mine and his work is 2nd 2 none havent had a problem w leaks water etc...and his prices r faie for the work that has 2 be done......hope this helps peace

 

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.

 

The only problem is that Canadian Dealers want a A-spec Vin in order to get any A-spec parts for you. Why that is I dont really know, so for us here in the US, its pretty much a do it yourself thing unless you have a friend in a dealership or with an A-spec in Canada.

 

D I Y is the best way 2 gom and there r peeps on this site who will do it 4 u or walk u through it peace

 

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..

 

Couldn't a A-SPEC owner just order the parts for us, the guys in the US.

 

Type S1

Can you give me this #
I wana try to order door sills...

 

as soon as i get a hold of a 2nd set of headlights i will black them out asap it seems like a simple procedure

 

Try these numbers;

905-528-7335 Acura of Hamilton

905-948-8866 Acura of Markham

205-360-1111 Acura of Victoria

 

I got mine done locally by someone who did a lot of RSX owner's lights. (The Integra Type R in Japan has blacked out headlights so a lot of RSX guys get it done).

Here's a LINK to the pics... wasn't too expensive either.

 

why pay 367.00 EACH when you could do it your self for like 20 bucks? or you can have Mr do it, he has done alot of them now

 

u think blacked out headlightz would look good on a 00 MBP TL?

 

YUP

 

what bout "blued out" LOL

 

I can paint them blue... I can paint them orange if you want.

 

Maybe he's afraid of getting moisture inside the headlight and blow the bulbs out. Then you can't blame nobody. I've seen that a couple of times.

 

hahahha awesome, u think theyd look alright? im thinkin the blue would have to be close to the body color

 

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.

 

Won't blacking out the headlight housing affect the light reflecting out, or am I missing something?

 

No it will not. The reflective part for the lighting is left untouched.

 

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...

 

Yes you will. When you open it up the chrome piece thats attached to the lens is what you paint. You reflective piece that are on the black backing of the headlight you leave alone..

 

Great customer service.

 

heres pics of mine
