So I have an extra set of headlights that are pretty much brand new from the dealer. But they are chrome housing and have the stupid orange turn signal cover on them. Is there anyone that knows or will paint my headlights and take out that orange turn signal piece??

You just have to Nightshade the orange reflector. Looks good.

Edit: and you can paint the housing yourself. There's a How-To on it. Takes time but turned out good.

Im just afraid of messing them up you know. heating it up is a lil sketchy

I was sketchy about heating them up also so I tested using a blowdrier to heat them up on a extra set of headlights I had laying around. It actually works and it didnt affect them at all. I'm going to paint my headlights black because I dont like that they are chrome but havent done it because I dont trust myself in painting them yet lol

Yea I definitely hear you on that one, I have a set a blacks ones on my car now but they have some scratches on them and I have theses new ones just hanging out collecting dust lol so I might as well just get it over with and paint em

Yea easy to paint sometimes resealing them sucks unless you buy the actual stuff

Is there anything we could buy locally that's just as good? Like at autozone or Walmart?

Since then the retro shrouds have been painted a brighter metallic green
It's not as bright as the picture depicts but a lot brighter then the ones above
