True, it will reduce visibility, that's why I didn't do the front. The taillights are fine with it since you don't have to see by the light, just someone else see them. Also I only put 1 coat on them. I just painted my headlights yesterday. That came out pretty good considering. It is a little awkward to remove the headlight lenses, then sanding and masking the main reflector is a PITA since there are alot of ridges and the curvature. They look pretty good though. I am happy with them for now.

 

Yeah definately DON'T USE VHT NITE SHADES on your actual HEADLIGHTS... NOT a good idea.

 

So how do you go about doing the solid red taillights that whistler has? I really liked how those looked.

 

Well, I got my painted lights on the car. Check out my web page in the pictures section. I have a couple pics of the final product.

 

Sweet Z ! !

I love the new look... and I liked how the probeams looked as well.

 

Damn, I love that. I'm so doing that.

 

im still dying to know how Whistler and his buddy did theirs

btw, anyone seen the "how-to angeleyes" writeups?
they show in detail how to get the headlights open without a huge mess.....just figuring out how the lights are darkened is the mystery part for me.
i guess i could put a few light layers of Nightshade over the headlamp chrome

 

I masked the rear reflector and used krylon on the rest of the Chrome. There seems to be no reduction in visibility.

 

I know how it's done and I don't even know Whistler. But, I'm keeping quiet so I can have mine done too.

 

Its a secret, if we told everyone then it wouldn't be unique anymore would it? Its actually really easy, but if you mess it up be ready to buy new headlights.

 

I understand the concept and I'm going to do it regardless. However, a walkthrough would be nice from someone who's been there so I have a better chance of not screwing up.

 

Be patient and wait for the writeup, you don't want to experiment on expensive headlights unless you have extras. It should be up soon.

 

Exactly. That's why I posted this thread.
