headlight poll

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 09-29-2006, 04:33 PM

situation: got in a wreck, now I have a brand new front end, including headlights.

What should I do with the headlights?

Also, if you have an idea that's not an option up there, post it up!

LED's ...meh

bezel = the part around the headlights, if you've taken them apart, you'd know that there are 3 main chrome parts, lowbeam cup, high beam cup and the bezel.

I like you're thinking.

I'm keeping this poll open for a while though. I want to see how well this goes. Plus, we won't have a 70 degree day here for a while, and spray paint fumes indoors are fun.

Yea, I kinda knew that, I've had my lights apart, but how would you tint the bezel, just have some semi-transparent paint so it'd end up say metallic red or blue instead of flat/gloss red or blue?

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 09-30-2006, 01:11 AM

no, I have an extra can of VHT nite shade.

i like the semi-transparent sound...sounds like it would look cool...all the chrome painted semi-transparent blue...can you use the wrecked headlight as a prop?...try it on there before going with the final on the actual headlights

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 09-30-2006, 04:42 AM

the wrecked headlight was trashed by the collision shop, but it was painted already anyway. :/

Redog · 09-30-2006, 04:48 AM

I say go back to the way to had them before, it looked good

robz02alero · 09-30-2006, 10:00 AM

i say you shoot fo something totally unique given this second chance.

jturkey69 · 09-30-2006, 12:07 PM

^agree

and i totally forgot when i was typing that..lol...i knew your headlights were blue

Coldfire · 10-01-2006, 08:23 PM

I say you be lame

Nah, I dunno, cleared corners look pretty sweet on dark cars otherwise if you liked them matched just do that again.
