How To: headlight black out for P5!

[MyZmZm]

to my knowledge, all 2003 proteges - regular, p5 and msp - in canada had the black housing. so yes, it is perfectly safe and legal... as long as you don't go paint crazy and paint everything under the lense, lol

omg the lens is so clear.. WOW. When I have extra cash I may just buy those.. I'm sure it's nearly as cheap as the stock silver USDM lights anyway. Then I'll get rockblocker on it pronto!

Rockblocker ... hmmmm - this is a good idea. I'll be EZ-bakin' my USDM P5 lights for the MSP (they may or may not be black however(shady)) btw Chris - I havn't formally thanked you for the daily seizures caused by your new sig (flash)

I've been waiting for someone to comment on that.

haha yeah it's instant strain on the eyes but hey you'll get some wanted/unwanted attention for that!

Those Canadians lights are awesome....how much do those retail for?

 

[Kansei]

over 800 canadian. They look great though.

 

[InFlames]

goddamn 800?!

 

[Kansei]

That's getting a deal on them too haha.

I wish you could just buy a new lens. I think you might be able to but it still won't be at all cheap.

 

[InFlames]

hmm I never thought about just purchasing the lens. Do you know if that's actually possible?

 

[CTt3P5]

Ah damn $800....scratch those. Thanks for the quick response though. And yes they look sweet as hell.

204 each.. I'm not sure if that is just the lens or if it is the whole headlight though.

 

[InFlames]

400 or soo for new ones isn't too bad, I'd rather do that and paint them again.

You'd rather do 400 each than pay them again? the 205, even if it is for the whole headlight, is gonna be the USDM silver headlight.

 

[InFlames]

Yea but I did my own headlights, I wouldnt mind doing them again. I can't justify paying 800 for two headlights.

 

[Kansei]

Oh I misread your other post, I thought you were saying you would rather buy the new headlights than (you said "then", I saw "than") paint them again. I'm thinking the same myself. Get the new headlights, and probably transfer the chrome piece from the new ones into my old housing, or just put the new lens on my old headlight, and then like sell the chrome ones on eBay or something.

aghh bumper was a pain to take off, mainly the two screws inside holding the bumper to the fender but hey I now can do it no problem! I used the paint that the original poster used and turned out good for me, had some condensation in the first night but has now since disappeared.. for good I'm hoping

Will this work for a '00 lx?

 

[Kansei]

^^^ It should work fine on your LX. try to post pics of it when you're done (if you do it). I don't think I've seen it done on a sedan before.
