Blacked out headlights and a RalliArt grill will made your ride look so much better...

 

this is next on my to do list also. when i get time that is.

 

What would happen if I didn't use primer? I also like the krylon fusion paint. and that is what I plan to use.

krylon is fine. Primer just helps the paint stick better and you get better coverage. I would recomend using primer and a glossy clear.

 

also im dont know if anyone has stated this yet.
but when you put your headlights in the over.
DO NOT put them face down ie. clear cover down,
cuz when you bake them the moister and heat will mess up the lense.
i did this on my left headlight and quickly figured out it wasnt a good idea haha.
just warning people!
great how-to. i used it

 

love the yellow...... Iv been thinkin bout doing red 4 a while.

 

looks like the housings are a part of the car and just the lenses cover them. Definitely looks sweet.

 

^^too much yellow for me...personally.
and im a guy that colormatched his interior trim in yellow

 

wouldn't a heat gun be WAY easier than risk baking the lights too long? i re-did mines (06 OZ stock black housing) and i made it way darker. i just think baking the light are just a little too risky.

 

i can't believe this thread is still alive after 3 1/2 years .. glad its been helping people along the way
