Wow. Just, wow.

So many things I'm thinking. But I'm just going to say "no, no one makes CF headlights."

Do it yourself.
How hard can it be? Just make sure your carbon fiber sheet will resist the heat from the headlights.
Search for 'blacking out headlights' and instead of using a black paint improvise and use carbon fiber.

Yay for Brian!

No, if I still had the OZ, I would NOT buy CF headlights.

mabey if it wasnt just painted on cf like tyc tails are.... If you had a lot of cf on front it may look good. otherwise I think black looks good.

I think it could look interesting if done well, with actuall CF on the inside.
Hmm... I got Black-outs (and aint changin' 'em) but this is a project I would take on
Dude, get the CF material and make sure if you lay it tight in the headlight,
use a razor, for slits to get perfectly around the contours.
let the epoxy settle for at least 24 hours.
Id recommend using a DARK CF with SMALL weaves.
I think that if you make it appear from a distance like its "Black out" (which you know will look good by default) then it will work out Great!
After someone gets up close and says "Huh?... Holy ****, thats CF!" it'll be so much cooler cus it was percieved to be black at first; and its really original.

I got a mixed opinion... In general Id say "Nah f*ck dat idea".
BUT
If you take your time and do it right, I believe you can make actually make it look really good.

I made my black out headlights, and had to do it again...
They needed to be re-opened and wiped, cus after I re-sealed 'em and thought I was finished... I turned the lights on and realized there was some dust on the clear lens that I forgot to wipe off. *Huff... Open 'em back up...
No biggie tho... Just take your time.
