hey,

ive got an '06 OZ and i realized last ngiht that my headlights are blacked out. I got the car brand new, so im wondering if this was a new thing they did for '06 or was my car in an accident and the dealer replaced them and didnt tell me otherwise...

should the headlights have a black housing?

 

Interesting...got pics?

 

Is it an used car? If so, the previous owner might have done it.

 

Did you read the man's post? LOL Did the words brand new not register...?

 

That is odd.... pics would be cool.

 

no the car was brand new,,,it had 185km when i drove it off the lot....but when i had first test drove it, it was at a 165km. and i might have a pic

 

ive got only a few old pics that you can kind see the headlights...but ill take a close up tomorrow when its light out. The only reason i care about this (aside that it looks better than when its not blacked out) is because i wonder if it was in an accident?

 

is it me or is that grill different too, might have been a dealer option they installed ?

 

no the grill changed for '06...i know that much and i think the fornt bumper too

 

did you check carfax before buying >

 

no , i would have assumed it was fine since it was brand new...no reason to check it, but im going to go back to the dealer and look at the other OZ's and see if they have the same headlights

 

Since I am an 06 owner, I'll fill you in. Yes the headlights are supposed to be like that, they make all the 06s like that, guess they found out people liked the black headlights better. And yes the grill is supposed to be like that, they changed the front end, removing the peice in the middle that normally held the mitsubishi logo. You have nothing to worry about, every 06 has those headlights.

 

My ES does not have black housing headlights. They are chrome. Pic for proof xD

 

i thought all the 04+ oz's and ralliarts had headlights with black housing

and all the es (and possible ls models ) have chrome headlights

dont think it has anything to do with the year

 

Well, looks like there were so variations in the '06s!
