medic14 · 10-25-2009, 06:35 PM

I think black looks the best...

PCrowlz · 10-25-2009, 06:38 PM

CoBB_tHiS! · 10-25-2009, 08:58 PM

DragginFrame · 10-25-2009, 09:24 PM

I just took out the amber pieces, I'm quite happy with them as they are

d0ugch0i · 10-25-2009, 09:51 PM

painted mine gunmetal

Da-Risin-Smoke · 10-25-2009, 10:23 PM

^bad pic, but looks good.

Be better to see a pick without the lights on.

DragginFrame, what wheels are those?

Notice how most of the people saying to paint it black have 04's with the chrome housing? I left mine the stock dark gray color and i think it looks great.

projectpat91 · 10-25-2009, 11:26 PM

im down for like tuesday or thursday, i want to do mine too but i just got the car and im waiting to inspect it, but i did the ones on my 04 rs it was easy

andrewc24 · 10-25-2009, 11:27 PM

My Cousin's head lights- I think just cleared is the way to go

projectpat91 · 10-25-2009, 11:30 PM

actually i could do the weekend too, maybe by then il have my inspection done and we can knock both sets out

2point0 · 10-26-2009, 03:15 AM

With your car, either would look nice I think. I was debating painting mine flat black, but that would make them stand out too much on my blue car. I just removed the amber and love it.

pushnpounds · 10-26-2009, 12:23 PM

hey i'm about to do my bugeye lights. its gonna be the first time for me but i'd be down to meet up and do them together. i can't wait i am doing something very unique and definately the first to do it. i will reveal it to nasioc when its done

lmk though

2point0 · 10-26-2009, 12:58 PM

P.S. Looking at that red car again reminds me. If you're going to paint your headlights (any color), I recommend filling those holes left over from the reflectors. Unless you plan on putting them back in for some crazy reason!

GDB FAN · 10-26-2009, 01:02 PM

Since you have an 05 I don't see any real reason to paint them. Mine stock color:
