headlights....
yeh my bro is lookin for some aftermakret headlights for his 98 coupe...is there any way you can do a DIY on somking out the headlights...or what other headlights what you gusy reccomend to buy>?
|
I wrote a how-to in the step-by-step section
aftermarket headlights are crap and will leak on him. oem is the best and if you want some jdm ctr head over to passwordjdm or options auto |
I blackhoused my friends headlights on his 2k1 civic, all you need is a heatgun and warm up the edges so the glue melts and pull it apart, carful not to melt the headlight. spray whatever, then either use caulk or we used a urethane sealer. pretty easy.
|
dont bother, just get a nice set of bulbs. I have yet to see ANY personally/shop installed lights that actually looked good on a car.
|
when u mean bulbs...what do u mean..jus those silverstar ones...i hate that orange crap in it...and pdiggs are those web sites you are referring to...ye he is looknig for jdm headlights i guess...also what do you mean by leak...how will that happen
|

http://www.hstuners.com/forums/showt...threadid=21701 just preheated the oven to 250 degrees, took apart the glass part, and masked whatever i didn't want to paint. |
I have jdm lights now.
But in the past I baked them, separated, removed crap I didnt want, put back together. You can spray whatever you want w/ duplicolor paint (gunmetal) while the housings are apart. |
pdiggs how much you get urs for..and from where
|
Theyre sir headlights, so no gunmetal - theyre just clear and have city lights and no stupid reflector around the main bulb.
I paid $200 off someone @ h-t Theyre $250 @ passwordjdm (only people that sell them as far as I know) |
