If anyone has any pics of any 99-04 models w/ black housings, please post them! I need some inspiration on doing my headlights and im still not quite getting the pics I want on google... I remember a thread but I can't seem to find it. There was this pic of a nice white rl with a black roof(I think) and he left the amber in the headlights. I can't seem to find it anymore....

Amber in the headlights... I can't get over that look. Looks... unclean to me personally.

with blacked out headlights....amber def has to do. look into those colored bulbs i mentioned.
btw blacking out headlights on the rl is very reminiscent of a 99-00 q45 front somehow...(maybe its me; i have a soft spot for those cars too)

Blacking out headlights doesn't work for me. I prefer "tinting" the inside lenses... like on the Civic Type R.

A little gray to them and it looked more aggressive that way.

Civic Type R headlights are more gunmetal / titanium than completely blacked out with black paint...

I guess the "titanium" headlights look a little more professional to me. Rather than someone that might have done a quick 5 minute rattle can job. Nothing against your headlights 99Horsepower because those turned out nice, but I've seen others that didn't turn out too well.

example of a better picture...

^^theres also rattle can sprays to achieve the same titanium color look as above to.
it looks good either way.
