headlight mod.

Been seeing a lot of cars on here with black background on their headlights which I really like
Where can you find them --Or do yall just paint the frames - or any other info on custom headlights

Thanks , Will

Do a search for "Depo brand headlights"... They make the black ones as well as the regular type. There are cheaper brands too, but Depo is the better quality.

the black with amber signals are still around on ebay, but I've been looking for the black with clear corners and they're sold out everywhere, I'm hoping they're not discontinued for good

took a shot on a questionable website (Parts Source USA), which was the only place I found an active listing, a month later still no headlights, no answer to emails and their phone # is inactive....so steer clear of that website

Are they a PITA to install or not that bad -- looks like the bumper cover has to come off

Also Jegs has them for 137.00 --That seems preety reasonable to me ?

You make black tail lights by lightly spray painting them so they still glow red when used. Probably need to boost the brightness for police satisfaction.

wonder if this diminishes the overall light output?
