Cleared out Headlights - anyone?

Anyone have detailed instructions on how to give your headlights the spectacular "cleared out" look.

Any help suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

There's also an official vendor who'll do this for you for $150 or so. Check it out in the Black Market section. The vendor's name is Retrofit Source.

Good luck!

...and yes, it is a spectacular look.

Here's my thread to blacking out headlights, except you can stop once you remove the amber piece, i went and painted the rest black.

Clear is ok, but you'll probably get sick of it and wished that you blacked out the headlights instead. I had mine clear for a few months and then realized they probably would look 100x better blacked out, so I redid everything and am much happier.

on Black, i agree, but I have AM & it looks MUCH better clear than blacked.

It all depends upon the color of the car.

Plus someone had a red one that they painted the inners red and it looks HOT.
