Are there any dedicated companies that do this? I know there are a few that I found for my old 350Z, but haven't found any for the IS.

LOL!! Totally agree!! To me those tinted headlights make the car looks "blind", always need to have sunglasses on or something...

I'd love to have my headlight housing painted flat black but I'm just not brave enough to do it, don't want my AFS to go wrong. When I painted those headlights on my old IS300, I remember taking them apart by putting them into my oven, scared the xxxx out of me....

Has anyone done it at home? How hard is it to take the headlights apart?

Please post those instruction from AACS if you can. I'd really like to get my hands on those and I'm sure there are tons of people here anxiously waiting for those.

Cheers

black out the headlight make the car look very sexy and sporty in the same time. The problem is, you will never be able to tell that from the picture. It look totally different in real.

I went for it and never regrate it. My advice is, DO IT.

Man, there has to be an easier way. I would love to do this. And make everything even out...


No way to just get some film and put it over the headlight on the outside?

We are talking about blacking the headlight out by painting them not by filming them

I think the blacked out headlights look good, but I'll proabably leave mine stock, as I'm too busy and lazy to do it

Default Blackout headlights in Ontario?
Does anyone know of a place that blacks out headlights in Ontario, like AAC does for Americans?
