i tinted my headlights. :D

[Riley 0]

started out just wanting to clean them inside and out,the amount of crap was unreal! :shock: and it made things real difficult as the 3rd screw(one through front panel)holding the headlight was absolutely rusted to hell with no head on it!

 

anyway,just wondering if ive done this correctly :oops:

should i do the line inbetween the high/low beams in black?

was wondering weather the marker pen! would get in the nicks properly?

 

cheers,neil.

 

see here!

Looking very good - what pen/paint did you use? And I'll own up to liking the yellow fogs!

[Neverite 0]

nice riley, nice...(like the fogs too!) i did the same with mine a lil while back(and got rid of the red grill for an all black :D ) but i did the thin strip in between too, not sure if its a bad thing lol, but nobody picked up on it yet.

 

gradeAfailure, i used smoothrite myself if that helps, i think i stole the idea from kevhaywire?? :oops:

Keep meaning to clean the inside of mine, but how did you manage to remove the difficult third skrew with no head?

[Phil K 0]

planning to this to mine when I get my new lens for the offside... I think they would look better with the line between the lights done black too tbh 8)

[dubster82 0]

i like the yellow fogs.

[Riley 0]

:lol: :lol:

well i dont believe it,i went and did away with the yellow fogs just now!

 

i used a marker pen,dont know the specific type sorry :oops:

 

think i will do the line inbetween the high/low beams too.

 

the 3rd screw was a knightmare!

ended up just prising/pushing/pulling the headlight out,looks like its been plastic welded before too.

 

need new headlights really :roll:

 

cheers guys,neil.

Looks good mate, Im glad I told you how to do it :lol: :lol:

 

I did mine a while ago and tried marker pen first but it wasn’t very good so ive now used Hammerite smooth.

Ive coloured the strip in between the lights cos i thought it looked a bit odd when i first did them without, but that’s just personal taste.

[geordiedubber 0]

Yeah looking good mate..

Think Ill do that when I get around to removing the dead

angel eyes.

[Graham_E 0]

A mod that cost next to nothing and looks top notch...like it!

[Riley 0]

thanks guys. :D

 

yeah jbob,cheers for telling me where to black em out.

 

was it easy enough with the hammerite?

did you mask off or anything?

 

i was gonna use some at first but didnt wanna get it where it shouldnt be!

 

im gonna paint the line to i reckon.

neil.

defo a good mod..

[Shilakadaddy 0]

looks really good on a black car 8) quite tempted to do this myself after seeing it done on a red corrado (G60Dan's car)...

[DaveStorm 0]

Did this simple but effective mod myself tonight and am well chuffed, it looks good against the dark paintwork. I used a very thin brush with a small bottle of black industrial metal marker and it worked a treat, looks better with the dividing line painted too 8)

[Riley 0]

looks great on the red too 8)

 

how come its a lot more noticeable than on mine?

 

is it just the dividing line?

 

or have i not covered enough of the reflector?

 

neil.

[DaveStorm 0]

Just do the dividing line and see if that makes any difference, I don't think you'll need to paint anymore around the reflector, unless you just want to give it another coating :wink:

[Riley 0]

yeah ill try that m8 8)

 

didnt have chance today,started messing with the t/body then put it all back :roll:

 

neil.

best thing i've done with a marker all semester! come on guys think up some more free mods :D

[Bobbywhacker 0]

Did mine a while back. I used plasticote black gloss.. its like hobby paint I think, but its also heatproof. Worked a complete treat, only problem then was when I removed the masking tape, it had pulled away the silver coating on the main light bits... resolved using some satin silver spray, so now my lights are *completely* de-chromed.... even tho I hadn't intended to do that lol

[dazzyvr6 0]

does look good :)

ouch :!:

 

saying that,cant you get chrome effect spray?

 

if your chrome bits were tatty so to speak,then you could probably give a quick nib down and repaint?

 

dunno how reflective or heat resistant it would be though.

 

neil.
