Cleared/Blacked out Headlights
continued from this thread http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90074
I got my car back today and the headlights look slick, even though the left headlight has a seal leak and its all fogged up, its not that bad but still it bothers me. First I didnt wanted to post pics but then I couldn't stay w/out showing it to you guys.... i'll get the leak fixed end of this week or next week. Only have 4 pics so enjoy these till next week.

leak? ouch. sorry to hear that. hopefully you'll get that fixed without too much hassle. The lights look really good on your car. I'm actually a little surprised how good they look. congrats on being the first to do this (or at least the first that i've seen)

Looks good Jatt. I have a couple of questions though:
1. What did you do to the turnsignals (i.e. the amber part). Is that part also painted? How does it look when it blinks?
2. It seems like you have painted a lot of the inside. Are the headlights still as bright, or aimed correctly (i.e. you have not painted the impt reflective surfaces)?
Thanks. It really does look great.

anyways
the amber reflector was taken out..... if u go to my first post of this thread and click on that link i gave u to another thread, it stats everything in it. First I wanted to cut the reflector and painted silver but then i changed my mind and went different way.
The lights are still bright....after removing the reflector, there was so much chrome so that has been painted. I still got stock bulb in signal, its not bad, its kind of yellow/white but not bright enough, some ppl might not notice that i have my signal on but i'll take some night shots and show them to u guys today.
Does anybody know if i can put WHITE LED bulb in turn signal? will it fit and which one do i need?

Yes he sent them to ( sent me pics when they were finished before he shipped them back). I am debating on just removing the Amber peice for "cleared" lights or getting them painted like Jatts.
As for Law, in CA your signals are supposed to be Yellow/Amber. (I got a fix it ticket for rear turn signals being white on my Civic a while back.
