For those of you with Modded headlights

[Alerwhoa]

Post up some pictures, im tryin to get an idea of what to do for my headlights... mainly the outside turn signal area where you need to tape it off. Ive seen some cars completely blacked out on the corners and some just taped off... so POST EM UP IF YOU GOT EM!

[Satsuriku]

Every time i search for pics on this forum it never shows old pictures... it shows there posts but not the pics... dont ask me why hah...

And what Jackal did is one of the ways I had been contimplating beings my car is black. But that might be to dramatic of a change beings my car itself is black.

[doubleN0alero]

well the reason being not all fo the old pictures made it over when we switched boards...it would have taken entirely too long to transfer them all over

[bnight04]

Still have to get new bulbs and paint the casing around the amber light black, but here are mine.

Side view in sig...

here is an old pic, a couple months after i bought the car in 02

[jabartram]

color matched, but the paint hasn't held up.

[babydolls]

We had gone with just clearing the corners, no paint, no tint, nothing fancy.

Now that looks sharp, only thing i would do is take the amber bulb out and put a clear one in........ i havent been pulled over yet for having clear bulbs, one of my turning signals is out acutally, and still no trouble(the small bulb is out)

[cavaliers60]

Here's an older picture of what mine look like, but I just love this picture... It hasn't changed much...

yeah, and one of my marker light bulbs don't work either... I broke it while wireing up my Blue LEDs in my fog lights... oops:(

Yeah I hear you on that one billytheman1188. But I actually have the same turnsignal bulbs as 00oldsalero, the blue tinted looking ones that flash orange by Sylvina. There is just a boat load of glare in the pic.

I love the polished rims. I think they look so much better than the brushed aluminum stocks.

[battistoni21]

[BlackJack]

actually silicone is rubber dick. not the "polycarbonite adhesive" as the dealer calls it. i just figured i break it down barney style so everyone else would be tracking with me. your at ft belvoir. are you one of those peo soldiers that i hear about. not a crack just curious.

dick? LMFAO


Silicones, or polysiloxanes, are inorganic-organic polymers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer) with the chemical formula [R2SiO]n, where R (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group) = organic groups such as methyl, ethyl, and phenyl. These materials consist of an inorganic silicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon)-oxygen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen) backbone (...-Si-O-Si-O-Si-O-...) with organic side groups attached to the silicon atoms, which are four-coordinate. In some cases organic side groups can be used to link two or more of these -Si-O- backbones together. By varying the -Si-O- chain lengths, side groups, and crosslinking, silicones can be synthesized with a wide variety of properties and compositions. They can vary in consistency from liquid to gel to rubber to hard plastic. The most common type is linear polydimethylsiloxane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane) or PDMS. The second largest group of silicone materials is based on silicone resins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_resin), which are formed by branched and cage-like oligosiloxanes.

i have actually no fucking clue what any of that shit meant. ;)

[jturkey69]

i used a high powered hair dryer, and it took about 1/2 hour of heating and pulling apart slowly with my hands, or you could use a heat gun but the heat gun is very touchy to use, it would melt the plastic in a heartbeat. i would heat it up for a bit, and use an xacto knife to slice the glue with. then i used the blue painters tape to mask off what i still wanted chrome, and sprayed it with satin black.

[olds_03]

alan2.4...careful with the euros....i had euros in mine and they fried my wiring harness to shiiiiit!

[boostnsrt]

i think the guy who put my headlights together used entirely too much damn adhesive. that shit is all over my lights, but i got it done. looks great now. it took me about an hour to do both.

hey kwhauk, are those wheels from a mustang?

[Alerwhoa]

Oven 170 degrees + 15 min = Headlights practically fall apart.

I shoulda thought about the dryer idea to get all that gooooo out of the seal area. I just filled it and caulked it, worked fine.

[alerored04]

i love the striping on kwhauk's old car.

[kwhauck]

not the stock mustang wheels but aftermarket ones yes........they were 17x8 with a 28.5 offset with 255/40/17 all the way around..........

i love the striping on kwhauk's old car.

Thanx, i really miss that car but plan on painting my new one the same color with the side stripes once i finish the motor.......i will also be running different wheels but still fatties with 255s.........

[alerored04]

very nice, look forward to seein it, maybe this time around consider black bezels just to make them stand out more.

[kwhauck]

never, i liked the body matched better, i don't want too much black.......

[jturkey69]

at least tape off the corners so there is a bit of chrome in there to match the headlights

[billytheman1188]

hmm so im wondering if there is paint to match my car if i wanted to paint around the headlights??? i have a maroon car. Anybody know where i can find the right paint to match?

I got a tube from the gm dealer around here. i think they charge like $10 for a little tube color matched.

[badass 72]

hey can anyone tell me how to clear my headlight corners ...or where i can buy them???also can anyone tell me if using 1.75 inch lowering springswill mess up the geometry of the car too much???/

[jturkey69]

welcome, and by looking in the how to section, it will show you how to do it. and 1.75 will not mess up the geometry much, but as with any lowering i would have an alignment done as soon as you can afford to
