Hey guys,

I was wondering how I could achieve this look for my headlights through DIY:

They have some sort of tint to them. Do you think i could just open up my headlights and spray that tint paint stuff on it like how most people would paint them black.

Thanks!

The first picture that you posted is the genuine ek9 headlights with titanium color plated finish:

You can take your headlights apart diy but you will never get the same finish unless you spent more money to have someone else professionally done in chrome plating work shop, but you might as well get the real deal if you go that route.

If you take your headlights apart and spray paint

1. Then you can only get the poor paint finish like this which is dull.
2. You are taking risk to have water leakage problm in future.
