Painting High Beam Reflectors Yellow

[5spd'r]

If you want to be all 'JDM' about it, there's a company called Vans that puts out headlight/corner spray. The paint costs about $20 for a can that's no bigger than the Krylon stuff. I've seen the 'light smoke' sold here locally and was tempted to buy it,I'm just too cheap to pay that much for a small can of paint though. They also had some weird gray paint for the whole headlight, never saw it in person though.

or you can just get yellow glass stain which is way cheaper

if your looking for the stained glass paint, its hella hard to find and 3 michaels were out when i was looking for this stuff

instead buy this

its yellow clear gloss, make sure it says GLOSS, can find at any autozone style store or hardware store

No.....this is a horrible idea and render your lights useless. The stuff you posted isn't clear. It's just gloss spray paint. You need to use translucent LENS paint or the stained glass paint to allow light to reflect the way it supposed too.

ohhhh shoot, dang dude im sorry. I didn't know it was just yellow paint with gloss in it. I was at kragen and asked the lady there if she had the stained glass paint, she said no but that this stuff would work the same so i bought it. To my understanding she said it was the same.
I haven't used it, so im gonna try and return it.

very sorry if anyone saw this and possibly fuxed up thier lights

-im gonna delete my previous post
