new headlights

[fastgtfairlane]

so happy to have new headlights as my old smoked ones were pure garbage. the driverside started leaking water after a few months and all of the chrome coating on the inside of the housing came off making the headlight useless. it didnt help that the lense was tinted also. i got some new ones from ebay for 112 bucks shipped to my front door. they are the cobra lense with a black housing, look better than smoked anyways. they are 200 percent better vision at night now i can actually see at night. i made sure to silicone the housing where the lense meets the housing to ensure no leaks and maybe these will make it a year!!! anyhow heres some pics: comments are welcome

thanks im pretty happy with the turnout. i like those lights you dont see them nearly as much as the smoked ones too.

They still look pretty dark too.

the great part is that the lense part is clear, they have a little black outline and it reflects off of the chrome coating.

keep an eye on those corners. i have the same ones and they arent sealed very well. LOTS of condensation. when i wash my car, i even see the soap bubbles somehow make their way inside the housing.

thanks for the compliments everyone. i got some silcone and ran a bead around the lights and turnsignals before i put them on. i hope they last a bit longer than my old smoked ones did.

my buddy might be picing up a pair of those for his..what kinda silicon did you use. Also your rims what did you do to paint them and to keep the lip...

 

[fastgtfairlane]

i used clear silicone on the headlights. the rims, i taped off the lip, used some 400 grit sandpaper and roughed up the surface i wanted to paint. then used laquer thinner to clean the surface. i used a 2 part epoxy primer through a gravity fed cup gun. then used a 2 part, high build semi gloss urethane as a finish coat. i put to coats of finish on.
