Thank you so much guys, im just trying to be as detailed as possible, so maybe i can inspire more SC addicts to restore rather than replace.

More to come guys

i'm currently doing a similar project...but with oem low and hi beams, complete gun metal housing, with de-lined centers on low beam cover, hi beam cover stays the same. looks awesome, will have a new thread with pics when done. personally think black housing looks to ricey...ala honda civic style...

I wonder if I could color match the inside of my headlights to my car?

UZZ30-SC4

If you have anything but a black car, it will still look black even though it is "gunmetal" so...ala honda civic, and on a black car it will look gray and not blend very well, and that is the idea of it for me. each to his own.

UZZ30-SC4

Thats why mine are going black.

i wasn't referring to your car specifically, but just overall...and no, the gunmetal does not look black on any other color, it looks gunmetal.

Im just saying that the distortion from the lense really wont allow there to be much difference between a matte black and gun metal, since both of our lenses are delined, it will def. show more. Even more so since i have clearcoated metallic black for mine lol.

Oh, I think I forgot to tell you guys that I am only just beginning!! LoL, I'm doing the highbeams (non HID for now) blacked out, and the fogs (HID 6k) blacked out. Those will also continue to be added to this thread.

So stick around guys, the fog (turning assist) lights will be the most interesting since i will def. have to do some serious modding!! (I'm thinking projectors in the fogs) I love it

I have the black housing eBay lights.

I've had them for well over eight months. They have not leaked, cracked, and I feel the lights are adequate and function like stock. I also have HID's in them, and they hold up great!

Now i'm thinking about taking my lights apart. I just dont have time.

UZZ30-SC4

I have them too, but they dont adjust properly at all (cant aim far enough down), and they have leaked a few times, but cleared up. I would just rather have the OEM quality.

UZZ30-SC4

I know what you mean, thats why its nice to already have the cheap ebay's on my car.

UZZ30-SC4

And the work continues, getting harder and harder to find the time, lol. I should be done in the next week or so.


Sides of lenses painted black, and ready for polymer seal to turn them crystal clear, and a UV resistant clear.:




Reflectors with last coat of black and 4 coats of clear (hopefully this will give some of the "reflective" quality back):




Heyyyy, look what came in, my parking bulbs, my headlights will def. glow super blue now (LoL, ignore the "do not install in headlight housing" warning).:





Alright thats it for now, my lenses should be crystal clear by tomorrow afternoon.
