Anyone do black headlight mod? - TX
 
Im looking for someone who would be willing to black out a pair of headlights/corners for me. Is there anyone that sells them already done or an exchange deal? Just looking.

ebay has em, as does andysautosports.com

grzmnky 03-12-2012 10:07 PM

yea i looked at them on ebay but i never had good luck with cheap crappy lights from there. i want something with quality such as stock. i dont want something to fog up after a few weeks

06RangerXLT 03-12-2012 11:10 PM

bake them in your oven for 10 min at 200, then pull them apart and paint them. best quality your gonna get.

I think that's what he wants done... just doesn't want to do it himself.

I had the eBay lights for a few years with no issues.

Don't forget your location in your thread title.

down your way there is a HUGE following for ranger parts. id love to live in the texas, arizona and surrounding area. the ranger following for aftermarket is MASSIVE.

how would you reseal the stock head lights? id love a step by step process..... ive never heard of this being done before

grzmnky 03-14-2012 08:18 PM

yea i just dont wanna do it myself. i have never done it before. i would rather trade mine out for some and some cash or buy some already done. i havent had good luck with ebay cheapies. anyone have any good luck and have a link to a seller? thanks!

They're easy to do, I've done 3 sets. I was scared the first time too but It wasn't bad and i didn't melt my lights.

I recently modded a 2006+ tail light too

will do. I just did a front end swap on a members truck today and he bought lights from ebay and they looked good to me. I still like doing my own lights but the ones installed didn't look bad.

quick picture of the ebay lights/front end swap
