Sick indeed

What paint did you use? The thing I wonder about is how long will it take to burn off. I don't think anyone else here has done that yet...

Now you gotta show pics of them finished on the car!

ooo

i just used the same paint you would use to paint anything else on the car. its duplicolor's universal black

the problem with the black is that it makes the scratches from clearing the lenses out (kinda did a shitty job on the clearing) stand out A LOToh well. im gonna go melt the plastic cover back to the headlight and install back onto my car and then ill take some pics. be back soon

looks good so far!

Show 'em off when they go on the car.

You going projectors with your clear outs?

That looks good. I was thinking about doing somehting similar, but I was gonna use bbq paint or some other high temp. paint.

Those look sort of like projectors.

If only they had projectors for a gen2

what do you mean they sorta look like projectors.... my headlights are totally stock

i cleared em out just cause i like the look of it better. i will have projectors in the far future though, but not anytime soon. i know, the beam pattern is all messed up, but its not much of a big deal to me. its just concentrated more

looks good, now you need pics of them in action

Forgive my ignorance, but, what do you men when you say clearing the headlights out? I´ve read it a lot, and I don´t quite get the idea?, how do you do it?

[trecko02]

One more question, hve you thought bout putting in some ngel eyes???

[Xevuhtess77]

i need projectors first before i do angel eyes, but i reaaaaally wanna do angel eyes, i love the angel eyes on the 5 series but i have other prioerities above projectors

by clearing the headlights out i mean i get rid of all the texturing on the headlights (newer cars tend not to have the texturing) there's a thread explaining the whole process with pics, search for clear headlight and you'll find it

im gonna go outside right now and take pics, i finished putting the headlights back on my car. ill have em up in a few minutes

Relax man, I was simply trying to state that they look dark, like projectors.

I was giving you a compliment, chill.

? im not angry at you

im kinda pissed cause from any normal distance (like 10 feet away) you cant see the black at all. it looks basically normal

i need to do a perfect job of clearing the lens.... which is gonna take a crapload of time and effort. mabye ill try to do it over thanksgiving or something
