I wonder if anybody has ever done a blackout headlight mod as exactly as the jdm MR, with the top parking light section being clear, and the lower turn signal section being amber?

I am assuming, to do the amber turn signal, we just need to paint the turn signal reflector piece amber/orange. Should we just leave the top parking light section chrome, and take out the amber reflector??

 

suprised dave isnt the first to reply this thread, lol i beat him to it!

 

The JDM clear portion is different from the USDM in that the lens is beveled.

If you do leave the USDM amber section silver, as in don't paint that portion, the lens is clear over that piece and you'll see the little wedge bulb holder. The JDM piece is beveled so you don't see that piece, and looks much better by doing so.

We paint lights here as well, and we tried it, and they didn't look great. I ended up putting the amber lens back in place.

nice

 

That's going to be my next mod, taillights and headlights. Good job!

 

Interesting, i wonder if dave can do it to evo 8 headlights, id love em

 

Thanks for the quick response.

What if the amber lens are painted chrome? Wonder if that look good even tho the clear len is not beveled like JDM?

 

The lower amber piece isnt the same and the outer housing isn't the same. I was going to do it but it would have been a ***** to do right. You cant just paint the lower turn signal amber because its concave and the JDM amber piece goes directly behind the lens.

 

nice

 

Bump for more opinions cuz I want to do the same thing with my headlights but don't know if it will look as good as the JDM piece.

 

awesome

 

both of you idiots are simply post whoring and obviously didnt read the thread

 

You can paint the inside of the lens though over the turn signal area

 

that's cool

 

are you people NOT reading the thread at all? The picture is an actual JDM light, he is asking if its possible to modify USDM lights to look like that

Reading>all of you
