Black Headlight Mod 07 camry (pics)

[rydr1]

Finally got around to doing the black headlight mod on my wifes car.

I used the procedures form the DIY 05+Tacoma forum.

I used platidip and left the high beam and turn signal area chrome.

Some people may like the black headlights on a white car while others may not, so here are some pics.

Looks good to me, I like it! Can you take some close-up pics at night with the lights on?

Looks awesome. Now you need to get your wife the SE grille to compliment the headlights.

Good Work

Don't want to hi-jack your thread but could you make a How-to?

I want to do something similar (except leave the circles around the projector and turn signal chrome) and a guide would be nice

That would look hot on my black SE ... How To?

It lookes fantastic, i would love to do that to my black se...

thanks for the feedback guys she couldnt stop looking at her car once it was done she loves it.

ill try and take some pics tonight.

looking at it now i think i should have left the low beam and turn signal circles chrome.
the projector makes the headlight look to dark.

here is a run down of what needed to be done. i was going to make a DIY thread but really didnt have time for pictures. i know it may not help much but here it is.

07 Camry black headlight mod
Items needed: Plastidip (used only one can)
Goo Gone (to clean up any sealent mess)
Ge Silicone II (make sure you get clear)

1) remove bumper
there is a diagram on this just take the screws out and pull the bumber off

2)remove headlights
3 screws total on each light you cant miss them

3) remove all headlight components
this means light bulbs and seals, leave the black vent cap and do not touch the metal headlight adjustment screws

4) pre-heat oven to 300*F then turn off
insert headlight for 10min

5) pry headlight apart
make sure you have taken all the phillips screws off, start at one end with a screwdriver then with your hands

6) seperate components inside headlight
remove the chrome part from the headlight cover and remove the metal piece, youll see it

7) paint lights were needed


8) allow ligts to dry
i used platidip and it dries fast

9) reassemble all components in light in reverse order

10) pre-heat oven to 290*F then turn off
insert headlight in installation postition for 8min


11) press headlight together add screws as fast as possible

12) add sealant after headlight is fully assembled
if it gets messy it can be cleaned up so dont worry

13) clean lights and re-assemble in car

looks good, but you should've kept the chrome rings around the projectors and turn signals

[rydr1]

^ yeah, thought about it after seeing that the projector did not stand out.

it does look much nicer with the chrome rings.


Edit: damn now i think mine look kinda like crap.
