Painted headlights are on my list...but way down at the bottom.

Unless I secure a secondary vehicle, I wouldn't attempt a mod like this myself, nor could I wait to have them done before installing them back in.

I tentatively have a plan to ****** up some headlights on eBay and either send them off to OnEighty or do them myself. This way, I can just make it an afternoon project swapping them with my current headlights and there would be no downtime.

I'd then have headlights of my own to sell...

This is why it's at the bottom of my list...lots of work/planning/money to pull it off.

 

I'm in Cherokee, didn't know there was a FB page PM me! I really don't want etching, but I am preparing to paint mine Satin black with lens shroud Glass Yellow and then install an angel eye ring on the out side projector lenes and then a switchback LED on teh city lights so that is white and only amber on blinking. Then to add to the complication I an going to add a DRL LED light tube inside the headlight somewhere...either the bottom or top. Plan to use Nite Shades on the reflector and part of the top glass light area.

Now, Satin vs Gloss on the headlight housing is my debate! I really love the Satin look so I think I am going to go with that....I think

 

Sent you a PM.

I have dipped my tailights in the GTR style. The only issue I have is the black dip is not glossy and there is big contrast. I was going to use the left over VHT NS to do these. I can create a template on the fly...takes time, but if you have them.

 

You'll definitely want to finish the NiteShades w/ a quality clear coat, then polish to a factory shine, takes it from looking like a backyard job to factory clean.

 

I am borrowing a car, but I am just going to dive into it.

 

You should be fine if you allow a full weekend for the job.

 

Figured I'd chime in here as I am currently undergoing this process.

Plans are:

-Satin Black Housing and Gloss Projector with a lambo orange eye-lid accent
-Custom Iron Man Evil Eyes in 4300K Natural White 5050 LEDS on both Projector and turn signal from Oznium
-Demon eyes LED's in both projector and turn signal (might do RGB for these with a controller)
-Smoked side marker with VHT Niteshades
-STi-R lenses on the way for projectors
-Going to try to modify the turn signal lenses to use my old projector lenses that are being replaced

These are the LED's I plan to use Tiny Prewired Super Bright Surface Mount LEDs - 12V DIY Plug and Play SMT LED

Any questions - let me know! I am doing this project on a pair of "broken" headlights from eBay that I purchased. Both just had Projectors that were broken loose inside which I'll Epoxy/JB Weld when I am in there.
