I know this was posted many months back regarding black housing headlights for our GS, i think it was either Globe or Manaray, can't remember.

But I know someone who owns an import shop and would be willing to open my headlights clear them and paint them black for a VERY reasonable price.

Do you guys think black housing headlights are too ricey? Also how do you think the light output would be with my factory xenons?

Someone has to start it . How easy is it to put it back to stock look. if you do decide to do it post some before and after pics.

Once it's done it's done. THere is no converting back to stock look. In manarays post awhile back he posted some pics, looked really good. He said no light output was lost because the reflector was touched. But I still waiting to get my damn neons installed first, then the black housing may be my next mod if not I'm just gonna clear them out. After my cleared headlights i will be getting my DEUCES!!!!!! Eurolines.

neons??? uh oh.........

lol yeah yeah, no not under the car, it will look exactly like LXOGOOD'S. You won't see the bulb at all and will be conrolled by 2 switches. I'm def. not the ricer type. This is prolly the only NEON mod i will ever do except for when I get an Intake (make my own neon Cold Air box)
And for my system which will be QUITE awhile.

DrRick

whew!!!!!! visions of glow sticks under the car and perhaps surrounding the brakes were all that i could see. LXOGOOD's is nice though.....

Black Headlight housing would be nice..... and you'll be the only one of the few to have em...... for a while @ least.... heh heh .... like gs400_pusher said.... some one needs to start it..

Would be a sweet mod.... i dont think it would be rice... because your not painting it yellow.

futuregs

lol thats funny u said that, i was just at is300.net and saw some dude with an is300 said he painted his headlights yellow....lol.

Question: so with this mod, how visible would all of the inner portion of the lights be?? (bulbs, relfectors, etc.) Has anyone even tried this yet???

i think it would look sick on a silver,black or blue car....i wonder how the 1st gen LS headlight would look with blackhousing?? can anyone do a photoshop??

A freind and I have something similar planned out but we have allitle more to it than just painting it black, when where done with it some will like it and some will just hate it but I garentee its gonna be a 2 of a kind :P

LXOGOOD

Future: When you say you are going to have them "painted" black, do you mean with acual paint or is it going to have the "smoke" look to it. What I mean by smoke is where the plastic looks tinted but doesn't look like paint. If you do this, you got to post pics. I've been thinking about this since I bought my car. That would be a great MOD...

Here's exactly what I mean:
