Blackhoused my headlights! (no 56k)

jonny · Apr 3, 2013

Over the weekend I blackhoused my headlights. Had a little bit of trouble the first time around, but the second light was a breeze! I think it turned out really nice. I removed half of the parking reflector strip and broke the coupling off of the small end and it added a more "aggressive" look to it.

I feel a little bit ricey now though :rice:

the light is just weird, I assure you bother sides are the same in blackness lol

Thanks!
It wasn't too bad, first light I didn't put in the oven long enough (I was scared...) and it was really hard to take apart/put back together. Second light was easy, just had to leave it in a few minutes longer.

Glad you attempted it yourself instead of buying a set off ebay. I love being able to look at mine knowing i did it and learned something from it rather than just bolting something on.

I was worried the first time i opened mine but since then I've had them open 3 times and it just gets easier each time.

Good job man
