Default Re: DIY: Black Headlight Mod with Video Tutorial

I did this mod today. Thanks to 006 and his written tutorial I was able to get through it. It took me 4 hours to complete. The video link is dead so if anyone has the video saved to thier computer still it may help to repost the video. I used krylon, fusion gloss black 5 coats waiting 10-12 mins between coats. ace hardware carries but home depot only carries rustoleum.

just a few minor suggestions:

1) you don't have to tape up the lens to the turn signal that is clipped into the chrome housing prior to painting, you can simply remove it.

2) also when reinstalling the bulbs, the high beam light has a seal around where it is supposed to be inserted and turned into place. well if that seal is not removed it is impossible to reinsert the bulb into place. if you force it aluminum dust particles will break free of the housing of the bulb and if you have already placed the lens back in place the inside of the lens will have metal particles all over and it will look nasty. this can prbally be avoided all together if you insert your bulbs first and then put the lens back. hind-sight is always 20/20

3) buy 2 cans of paint

4) you may need to hang the housings with string so that you can reach all around the housing with your spray can.


well thanks a million to 006.

I love the way it looks.
