black out head lights, lol no not smoked out Options

[urbandork]

ive been thinking about painting the parts inside the head light, thats not the reflector, black.

well i found a pair on ebay and i was wondering if some celicas came like this stock?

[celicurr]

get the guy to send you part numbers, then post them up, I'm sure someone here has the Toyota EPC and can tell you where they're from... but as far as I know, they're not stock like that, just looks painted to me...

[playr158]

stock never came like that its painted

[urbandork]

stock never came like that its painted

i thought it was painted too but then i took a took at the back of the housing and it looks like its plastic is black... i was under the impression they were all gray

[ExSane]

Yeah, I caught this last night as well. Saw it on ebay. Was wondering the same thing. Could it be possible that this guy did the same thing to his low beams like doing to the high beams in the article in 6gc.net about the Angel Eye implements on the High Beams? I guess he opened it some how and painted the whole thing and then put the lens back on.

[dustin15brown]

Not very hard process at all... I can do it... hit me up on aol for more info

[urbandork]

i was thinking about doing black stock highs with black jdm projectors... yes im crazy enought to open up a set of jdm projectors and paint them lol

[playr158]

thats not crazy..just cause its the ulmighty projector

but it would defenitly be a nice looking mod.if you did just the surround

yeah i dont really dig the whole clear lenze on the hi beam and would like to get std hi's with jdm lows and have all of the head lights witht he inner liner painted black

[azian_advanced]

somebody correct me if i`m wrong but those housings look different than stock. if they are jdms, they should have the parking light. also, there seems to be 4 bolts when stock ones don`t. plus the headlamp adjuster screws aren`t there. and finally, the tabs on them are different. stock lows have one tab on top and two on the bottom. while these ones have tabs on the top, bottom and SIDE.

i have a bad feeling about this...

[dustin15brown]

yeah that headlight is screwed up

[LewFX]

those are the highs not the lows

[playr158]

those are the highs not the lows

you are sorely mistaken my friend those are indeed LOW BEAM 94-99 celica headlights

notice they CURVE and are ment to be placed angularly not straight like a high beam which is a circle not an oval such as those pictured

as for the back of them

yes there was a "JDM" version of headlights that were lined (aka non clear) that were not projector this could very well be that version but one of the euro members would have to confirm this

[ExSane]

those are the highs not the lows

um... those are the Low Beams. High beams have 2 tabs on the top far sides and are more circular than the oval shaped Low Beams.

[LewFX]

thye look hella small, looked like extended highs, mah bad, the suspension king lurks on

i've got jdm headlamps (non-projectors) and those don't look like what i have. but the tab arrangement looks oem (not just plastered on) which makes me think otherwise????

I was thinking of doign that and thought it wouldn't be too visible..Now I know...

[elvasoshexai]

i had that done to my JDM projector lows... i thought dustin had his painted black on his custom lows as well... it really makes the car look more aggressive

[urbandork]

well still no reply from the guy about part numbers

[Shocker]

i have that done to mine i can post up pics..in a day or two.

[Rayme]

how well do they mix with some white bulbs? I got xenon while bulbs on mine right now and they suck with light output.

[Tech9ine]

honestly havent noticed a difference..with some silverstars

[jdg371]

can you post up a pic with the lights on at night. in the car.. I really need to get some better lights

[dustin15brown]

your highs aren't ridged... or it doesn't look like it..... or is it like fiberglass and bondo'd smooth then painted

[Shocker]

Ill get night pics up as soon as possible..im borrowing my girlfreinds camera for all my pics,so when i get it back ill take some night pics.

Dustin.they are ridged...just how it look in the pics.

Ill also so you my contraption i made to take my light apart,becuase as you know our lights are glass and very fragile and will chip easily..
but the why i did it it takes about 2 minutes for each light for the lense to just fall off like there held on with butter..just watch you hands cuz i try to pick them up with out gloves and i have my fingerprint burned to the top of my driver low beam..... lol
it just a hair dryer and a CARDBOARD box with two holes in it... plastic boxes will melt

[dustin15brown]

i have no problem getting the lense off at all.... boiling water and submerge,..... or use my new heat gun

[Shocker]

boiling water is dangerous...and a big pan is hard to find...and the box and hairdryer is mucho faster..
boiling them were my first try but i noticed that it did somthing to the relecton...kinda dulled it so i set out for a better easier way.and it more practicale for people who have to worry about their mom asking why do you have your headlights on the stove...

[Daftboy]

i would try this but id probaly break them....
