I have been seeing it looks like stock headlights paint black alot in the forums and wondered how yall are doing it? what kind of paint?

 

VHT Nightshades

Check local laws before blacking out any lights

 

but the actual light is not painted just around it, on the inside. That should not be a problem should it?

 

Heres a how to if you want to do it yourself.

You can also buy black ones off ebay

 

yea that! thanks

 

its well worth it. it changes the look of the truck. everyone that sees mine wonders how i did it. that link posted befor is what i used and it took a bit of prep but all worth it in the long run.

 

DO IT!

I'm probably the only idiot that bought them, but I got 'em off ebay for $80

 

Bought mine off ebay! Only because i dont have an oven though

 

oh okay good, I'm not alone LOL did you get both the corners and headlights, thats what I did

 

here's a reference shot for ya since you have a white truck...



ok... so maybe 2 since i'm a *****.



ALRIGHT!! 3 DAMNIT BUT NO MORE!

 

I tried to do this mod but gave up and ordered a set off the net. I got my stockers apart but my masking tape kept ripping the fake chrome off. I figured even if i did get it painted the missing chrome in the reflectors would bug me so I just ordered some black ones. They haven't shown up, I hope they don't leak.

 

edgeman I LOVE your truck thats like the same look i am going for... what kind of bush gaurd is that.

 

thanks dude. the bar is a westin bull bar. you can get one thats not a westin cheaper on ebay and it looks the exact same.lol

 

Do it! just make sure to use some not very sticky masking tape so you dont peel up the chrome

 

i would like for someone to paint their headlights the same color as their body paint, wonder what this would look like, maybe someone can photoshop a pic to see, i think that would look BA

 

Their was a thread a while back that had a blue and red truck with matching headlights...
When I did mine i used the blue masking tape and no chrome came off.. Easy mod to do took me about an hour to do it all...

 

i may do it to mine if i get brave enough to put headlights in the oven...

 

I love mine too! :-D

 

is everybody just using krylon black to paint them???

 

Don't be nervous to put them in the oven, just keep an eye on them and you'll be fine... The warmer they are, the easier they come apart....

I think I used the satin black from krylon..

 

Krylon works, get the krylon fusion - it doesnt take any sanding to prep or anything.. since it is a sealed enviroment, you dont need clearcoat or anything over it... two or three coats to even it out once its prepped is good
