I bought a set of broken halos/projectors at a great price. I decided to try a little project and it turned out to be a lot more than I expected. They are 95% complete, only needing to dry completely and install the HID bulbs. To do this project, I baked them one-by-one in the oven at 170* for 8-10 minutes, pried them open with a flathead screwdriver and got to work. Lots of sanding, priming and globby adhesive later.....:

 

Bad ***. That's a cool idea!

 

i think that guy flip does this too.

 

I thought flip just did the covers. I really don't know for sure though..

 

Never mind. It seems you are correct, sir!

 

yeah i think he does. dps gxp headlights are painted? its the blue gxp. i dont remember his whole user name.

 

I checked flip's website.

Flipscustomtails.com

 

There's a few GPs with painted headlights, I had mine done when my car was silver, it just didn't look right...

 

you should try flat blacking them. j/k

 

They're close enough to flat black

Forgot to say that white would look good though.

 

looks a lil weird but gorgious at the same time lol
man im too scared to try this my self but i wanna paint my housing flat black and smoke out the reflectors a bit too but just gotta get the courage..

 

did these a while back to the stockers, got the idea from BuffaloSS and had another member helpin me out on the proscess.. my lenses were all scratched up so i figured there is no real loss if i **** it up lol
my only problem is i left the inside a little foggy, shuda cleaned the inside of the lense with something else.. i did get them custom painted and lightly tinted on the outer lense to cover up my mistakes lol







hehehe

 

That look awesome. I'd kill for a black car...

 

That's sick Goat, I really like that.

And Mike, are those my old ones?

 

coming to a GXP near you?????

 

I just bought the Chrome DEPO headlights for my GXP. Was thinking about getting the amber side markers tinted but $100 seems like a lot.

 

I bought leds for mine, i am just waiting for it to stop snowing lol

 

wow i get no love ....Flip did paint the inside of my headlight MBM....its kinda hard to see in certain lights but when you get the right light it looks nice

 

Yeah Nacho, those are your old headlights. Luckily you were selling a spare set so I could try this project.

BTW: Thanks guys!

 

OOOOooo hey Goat thats like exactly what im going for.. il buy them off you..
i got a question.. you bake them to open them and free up the adhesive. but how do you seal them back up?
