if they'll stand up to the heat, then it would be cool.

 

it should.. people who cant afford a real CF hood use it... and them hoods get hot too... prolly hotter than the inside of the housings, right?

 

I have an 03 lancer oz in yellow. I already have all my windows tinted really dark and a greddy exaust. I want to black out my headlights but im not sure how black would look or maybe yellow does anyone ohave any ideas on what colors i should make it that would be cool. Pics would be appreciated.
Thanks,

go with black, not yellow

 

i had a hard time too, so i used a box cutter and 2 flat head screw drivers. i used the flat heads to pry and the box cutter to cut the glue, pry and cut, pry and cut, start from the tip of the headlight and work to the middle, once you get there the rest is cake especially if you baked em

 

ik this is kinda bringing back a dead thread, but i would like to know if you are supposed to paint the inside of the round turn signal part or mask it off or what? cuz wouldnt that kind of hurt the brightness of the turn signal? all the pix i see are ones of the housing inside the headlight, not the housing out side the headlight. so if anyone could help me out, that would be great

 

I painted mine black inside the turn signal. It is still bright b/c the bulb is not hidden.
Ignore the snow tires please.

 

i will pay $40 to trade ym stock headlights for some quality blacked out ones. email me.

 

are all the steps the same for a 05 lancer? they have those black "pins" holding them together, right?

 

Sticky this FTW!

 

just giving my review on this (I just finished) and what problems i encountered.

1. Dont do it on a cold and rainy day like I did (paint takes forever to dry)
2. be careful when taking the stuff apart. if you get the glue on stuff it is very hard to get off.
3.I did 275 degrees for close to 7 mins. It basically just pulled off once all the black clips were pulled back.
4.Be carefull when you put the housing back into the lense. I broke the "wings" off that screw into the lense. (It got stuck and I pushed to hard). I had to epoxy the "wings" back together.
5.if you want to change bulbs this is a great and easy time to do so.
6. only need one can of primer and paint. I bought two of each. way to much...
7.it looks great. I recomend this mod to anyone that has the patience to do it.
8. I used the directions in the How to section by digdat. they were great.

 

That is very true I did the same thing bought two of each But primer and paint is always good to have on hand.

 

Those look good, i did the same to my mirage headlights a long time ago, the process does work if done correctly... so far, by the pics that have been posted, the HL's look badass!!! i might try the same.

 

That yellow looks hot... in the lights

 

awsome write up man. deff think this will go great with my white car. wat do u all think i have a white 03 es that ive put black graphics on and after market rim? im thinking black
