Black Accord would go nicely with the black housing.

Re: DIY Blackhousings or unpainted housings

I would do it myself though I don't have enough time to let my car sit for a few days.

it really only takes 3 hours max to do... and most of that time is spent waiting for your oven to heat up, and watching paint dry. :beer:

Re: Blackhoused headlights or just housings painted or not (preffered) needed ASAP

Its really really simple, paint drying is the longest, and the oven. There are diy for removing a front bumper...it's simple if you have the 4 or 5 hours to do it, pick a sunday or something.


I would offer, but I'm a grocery getter. What are the condition of the plastic housing on your lights? Pictures might help somebody if they see that yours aren't jacked up nicked, scruffed etc.
