how to blackout headlights ?
finally got around to blacking out my headlight housings.. was a good learning experience (took me 3 days) .. enjoy the pics!

btw .. i'm getting rid of those orange bulbs for the turn signals .. most likely a chrome bulb or white led .

More pics next time, but I did remove that silver strip if that's what you wanted to see.

LOL. haha thanks for the offer. i'll probably look into just repainting mines and removing the small dents .. but that's not in the meantime

it will, just take your time, be patient. just remember, sealing it is the most important part of all.

Looking at all these blacked out headlights is making me want to do mines instead of leaving them clear.

haha, well i'm still missing the oem lipkit. but if you were referring to that hole in your bumper and the misalignment of your hood to your headlight, then I know what you mean.

Nope, I used matte/flat black. I didn't like the gloss look since my lens cover was glossy already haha.
