nicely done! what kind of "glue" did you use to seal the headlight cover with the headlight housing?

[pdiggitydogg]

very sweet...wasnt it fun?!

[iRACEmyCTR]

i use silicone sealant from advanced auto, it's always fun. I've done like 4 sets of headlights so it's kind of monotonous.


what they used to look like:

ya i realized that as soon as i posted lol

question for u can this be a day job bc i want to take out the amber in my stock headlights but i dont have an extra set nemore so is it easy or is it possible to get it done in one day???

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Those look really nice iRACEmyCTR. Nice and clean :cool:

[Quist]

What color do you guy think the 99-00 civic type-r headlights are. I think there more of a chrome black or chrome gunmetal??

[pdiggitydogg]

no you really cant do it in one day unless you dont care about the "wet" silicone getting on your ride...it takes a day to dry

the jdm ones are gunmetal i believe.

CTR did you use Duplicolor for the paint?

[ebpda9]

they look super nice. wanna do mine too ? ;)

[iRACEmyCTR]

hahaha, i do headlights in 2-3 hours and them we slap em back on the car lol. air dry that shit hahaha. i used some black furnature paint i found in the garage. hasnt melted so im happy. the true CTR headlights are gunmetal with a smoked lense.

[JamieS697]

to remove the amber part on the stock lenses is it a sticker or is it actually painted on??

[pdiggitydogg]

well for the 6th gens...its a peice of plastic that is screwed on...2 pieces...i dont know about the others, but im sure its similar

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

is it possible to just use a "silver reflective sticker" over the amber reflector? if so, where can i get some?

[iRACEmyCTR]

you COULD if you so inclined. the ambler reflector is not smooth which would make sticking a sticker on quite difficult. the surface under the amber reflector is chrome anyway, so a silver sticker would have the same effect and just simply removing the amber reflector.

Nice, I like gives it a better look over the stock.

[oc civic]

i prefer stock lighting OR oem jdm lighting...

[iRACEmyCTR]
