headlights....

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.

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.

97CivicBoy 07-11-2004 04:04 PM

pdiggs how much you get urs for..and from where

pdiggitydogg 07-11-2004 04:11 PM

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)
