Cliff's notes:

Take stock headlights
Open stock headlights
Paint everything but the projector bowl black
Close and re-seal headlights

Now you have Whistler modded your headlights.

Most if not all whistler mods I've seen look like ****, I think the mod in general looks like ****. Aeon imports on eBay sells a stock style "half" whistler modded headlights, they are clean simple and still have a dark look to them.

I have to disagree with this completely. Especially on a black car like mine the huge silver headlights look completely out of place. If done correctly, as well as the car setup correctly i think the whistler mod is a great idea.

The whistler mod has nothing to do with being body colored. 99% of people do black, regardless of the cars color
