Hi, I just took apart my head lights and im about to paint them with primer but i ran into a problem.
Would i paint inside where the turn signal is located? Becuase if i do wouldn't it make it not shine or is the stock bulbs still bright enough if i do paint them?



Thats after removing the little lens

 

Well, do you want it to illuminate or not? It's really up to you...but seeing the turn signal lense isn't totally clear, I'd not touch it.

 

yeah i was wondering if i do paint it would it not make my turn signal visible at all when i use it? or would people still see that i'm blinking to the left or right just not completely illuminated?

because in a way i do want to paint it because i think it will look better but then im afraid its not going to be visible AT ALL

 

alll you will see is the light blinking but it won;t be very bright or reflective like it should.

 

i painted mine... its fine... you can see it as good.

 

i left mine

 

tape it off with magic blue tape. it shouldn't be too hard. cover the part with tape and trim so you don't miss any of what you're attempting to paste.

 

while your in there, grab some projectors and have some fun!

 

well i painted them and it came out fine just have to see if i sealed them right so no moisture gets through

and lol if i had some i would but im all set... going for a clean look

 

offtopic: i want projector head lights for my 02

 

I didn't paint mine and you can't tell a bit cause it's covered by that lense. If you're painting it, its gonna look nearly exactly the same as leaving it chrome except the blinker won't hardly work if it's black. Sounds like you made your choice already though, good luck

 

i ican't remember what i did actually
haha
i think i didn't paint it...
the lens is blurry enough for the chrome not to be seen but turn signal still in proper function

 

yeah i painted it and it still works fine even in the day time

so for anyone who is having second thoughts answer is you can paint it and it still works fine =] well with the paint i used anyways lol

 

i painted mine. you can see just fine

 

^You sure? All I can see of my side yellow lights since I've painted the housing black is the small bulb. It doesn't light up at all like it used to. i find it hard to believe the blinker lights up like stock if there is no chrome reflecting the light...
