Projectors Painted, complete, black housing Options

[6gsillyca]

Could somebody please photoshop a pic of a projector black? I have mine apart, doing the lhd conversion, and was thinking of painting the inside black, to match the rest of the car. I would like various chops of the chrome pieces done to see how they would look. Both highs and lows if you could.

I have pics if you need them, but there are plenty floating around the site.

IMHO... (I know you don't want to hear it but...) painting high beams is nonsense. Inside must be like mirror for proper working...

its a projector it works off the glass lense inside unlike a conventional headlight


but it looks pretty good
on car pics!

You're both right and wrong...Only the rear part of the high beam is the "mirror" or reflector part. I spoke with romas and he confirmed that there is 2 pieces inside the high beam housing. There is the outer sruuound piece (the part shocker painted on his) that is just a large cylindrical part, and the reflector piece has all the angles and curves.

As I just mentioned the high beams are reflectors and not projectors. With projectors (both halogens and HIDS) all you will see is the half sphere glass in the housing (3rd gen integra have these). Projectors dont need to reflect the light off anything to emit it, as it "projects". I believe the proper term for the high beams is "clear lense reflector"

Which ones do you guys like (rev 1,2,3) and would it look better if I took a bit off the accent light side?
