Your headlights look amazing! I need to do mine, did you just completely black out your little sidemarker light? It looks so sexy. Also what paint did you use?

The rest i used etch primer, and then black base, and top coated with a 50/50 mix of the base and clear to give it a textured plastic look.
the front chome is held in by 4 screws, and the turn signal is held in by 4 (one of which goes through the back of the housing). the silicone stuff the factory uses is really soft, once you get pulling the lens off you can get it easily. just be sure to not pull past the clip you unsnapped.

I think I'll just try to use that Krylon Fuzion Ultra Flat Black paint and see how that works. You shouldn't need Hi-temp paint or anything right? I can't mix paint for crap lol.

looks good on the front, yellow and black like mine
thanks for the compliments everyone.
-- i don't know if i would use krylon fusion on it, the chrome coating means it is not raw plastic anymore? except i dont know the "physics" of plastic chrome, or what that fusion paint will stick to. i used an etch primer and then it was a clean slate for anything. you can buy etch primer in a spray can. and then use what ever color spray paint you want.
i like the 16s but i really like the black housing . looks awesome

I love them too, I'm wondering if the projector DIY would look better on my '07 than painting them? Hmmm... I'll just keep browsing for ideas.
07 sedan? I posted the DIY projectors, it's pretty cool. Did you see the DIY halos right next to it?Originally Posted by manorness7
