Re: Aftermarket 1gb headlights

So get some chrome ones, take them apart and paint them black. The only black on them is the dividers between the high and low beam, and the outer edge of the low beam. The corner lights are also black with a clear housing.

Re: Aftermarket 1gb headlights

Might just do that.

Although, I'm not looking to take apart a $180 set of headlights, just to screw them up.

Well after seeing some pictures from Eagletalonguy, and how he painted the chrome set, I'll def be doing that. They look just like blackhousings.

Yeah just paint them. They usually are fairly easy to take apart. Just need to use a heat gun, or warm them up in the oven for a few minutes. We did it on my Galant and Ricer Pete's Galant

I've learned my lesson to NOT put them in an older flame oven though. Use an electric oven!
