anybody know where or anyone that can clear/black out headlights for my 2005 TL? around vancouver/richmond

 

There is a member named Lights on here. I know he used to do them but I'm not sure if he still does. Just search and pm him.

 

Check out Jnc's thread. He has plenty of pics....

Nmotion Auto does all sorts of modifications to headlights from blackhousing to removing amber pieces. All resealed very well.
We did it on a 3G and clear chrome on 4G then we added tinted lens to give that smoked effect.

Ask for Ryan. Great job and turnover.

 

How much would Nmotion cost? for like a clearing taking out the amber and blackhousing? i watned to do tinting as well but the pricing was a little high

 

If your pretty handy, I would suggest trying it out yourself. It's really not that hard. If you can get over your fear of heating the lights to melt the glue, your golden. I did mine myself. Blacked out the bezels. Added Audi DRLs, halos, took out the ugly amber. All you need is a heat gun you an get anywhere. The plastic never came close to melting.
It is much more effective to blacken the bezel as opposed to tint the clear housing. It's the same look but you don't totally negate your expensive HIDs light. I've seen many mustangs blacked out headlights and night driving looks like they have crappy DRLs on. There's pics in my garage

 

Yes, diy is easy. Pre-heat oven, take it apart, sand down the bezel, then paint. Reseal with new adhesive, use clamps to hold together, then dry.
Took me 1day cost me only $20 for materials. Matt black ftw.

But with Nmotion, you have to ask Ryan for price quote. The TL Job was a favour. Then he tinted the lens too...looks really dark imo.

Good luck.

 

i didnt know n-motion does painting headlights. i thought they only tinted them thats where i got my tail lights tinted from

but yeah do it yourself i did mine
take off headlamp assembly put in oven at 200 degrees for 7 mins and cut the glue with a butter knife or something and pry apart. it cools down fast so you might have to put it in the oven again

 

talked to n-motion they still clear and paint headlights.

and for projector retrofits they want you to bring your own material and theyll put it together

 

hey, did you get a quote from n-motion for clear headlights? those legal in van?

 

i have my amber reflectors out and painted the whole headlight black and never been bugged by cops ever
