[Qwooootz]

[crxzzR]

b careful when u paint it.. if the paints not thick enough light will shine thru...

[EuroAccord13]

They are illegal, I had mine tinted before and got hit hard :P

Afterwhich, I just bought a pair of headlight protectors and use Night Shades to tint the headlight protectors...

[Qwooootz]

hrmmm tinting the head light covers sounds like a plan.. how dark?

[crxzzR]

my indicators and tail light section on my crx gen 2 are all darkened..never been pulled over for it.. it looks dark durin day but allows adequate light @ night..
if i got time i take some piccies and show u

u dun paint the cover... u take it apart and paint inside... the part that is to be paint aint gonna reflect any light... the actual reflector reminds unpainted..


well... see pics..

yea nick
everyone knows that you have your headlight painted
..i think u better write up a DIY thread about the headlight
or maybe u can just do them for us.....
or even u can buy some 2nd headlight and painted them...then sell them..
u can make a lot of $$$$
lol...

[Couped Up]

yea i just did my lights a couple days ago it was pretty hard at first but yea go em done pretty good i must say. Doubt cops can screw u over with havin a black housin becoz ur lghts can still reflect.

i think i ll have to start doin that... need $$

[**Ghost**]

can i just add that u want to use something VERY heat resistant to paint? use standard acrylic paint and the paint will heat up tot he point where it might start bubbling, causing a lot of mess.

I had a mate who did this, and he said use something called "extra tough epoxY' or brake caliper paint...

[|N|]

use BBQ paint
