TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "Body color headlight mod???", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
True about Black.
My truck is going to be silver and was just thinking of different options.
I would go with the black headlight mod if I were you...I think it really makes a nice contrast on the front of the truck and looks a lot meaner...IMO having the headlights be the same as the truck color might be a little blah and bland. I love how it looks on my truck.

It does look meaner in black. Is yours flat or gloss?
Ultra-Flat Krylon Fusion on the headlight housings and Gloss Black Rustoleum on the Toyota badge....Of course I applied adhesion promoter before all of that.

If your truck is silver I would def go with black. I think that color headlights would look good on darker colors but I think that the Black would look killer.

i think the body color would look good too though...like the C6 corvette headlamps for instance....im waiting on someone to do it and i wanna see it done...i think some colors it may be just ok and some colors like silver would look great...
My only concern with doing a color match would be actually "matching" the color. If i was confident enough that it would be exact I would do it. Knowing it won't be perfect I'm goin with flat black.

Hey go for it. We all can't be the same. Part of expressing for personality is with your car or truck. Get some idea's from the forum. But really whatever you think will look cool. Its also nice to be a first at something when it turns out awesome!

Yup...Also you hafta worry about the shade of color being different on different surfaces and make sure the coats are exact and that nothing including adhesion promoter alters the final color...Color matching the right way might be difficult.IMO

even if u got it matched perfectly theres going to be some visual differences once its reassembled because of the lense and over time as the lense ages it will appear to alter the color even more....again, just like the C6 lights, certain angles they can look slightly yellowed and i would imagine once the lenses get cloudy like all lenses seem to do nowadays, it will be even more apparent.

You mean like these lights...?
My dad got a C6 right when they came out and then got another one last year. I definitely like the color matched lights but I think it would be hard to duplicate with the Tundra lights. Not impossible though. Hope somebody does it.
