So I painted my headlights yesterday
 

Gixxersixxerman helped me out alot. And now the OEM headlights look so sexy! We took the headlights apart and painted the chrome inside. I went with a satin black. We also took the projector apart and painted the metal cut off plate red. And I tell yah, the red cut off plate was a great idea. Here is a little eye candy for those interested.

Looks good, now black out the turn signals so its not such an obvious chrome light below it.

This is a matter of opinion. I think it looks sick on the red car.

Great job man, shoulda did a retrofit while you were in there tho. I can't wait to rip mine apart and paint them but I'ma wait until I get some morimotos before I do so I can do it all at once.

Why did you buy an FR-S? It's been done already.
Your logic makes no sense.

Thank you everyone except the guy calling it RICE. Glad its my car and not his. Pretty much everything has already been done on one car or another. Gixxersixxerman's headlights where my inspiration. He has that plate painted red and I loved it. Only other mod I will do to the headlights are LED driving light and white headlights. I'm not a fan of HID. The turn signals will get tinted, then I want to get clear marker lights and the. Red them out unless I can find red marker lights.

Major props, I love it. I like the demon eyes too, goes great with the rest of the car.

I can't wait to see it!

i dont own one yet

And hes dissing other peoples cars lol...

@Pin Flare
Would you happen to have demon eye pics with the stock chrome housing?

And his profile says he drives and FR-S

No, sorry. I did all this at the same time. But for those that don't know, the red only shows from certain angles. When you turn the headlights on it appears brighter at those angles but it in no way shape or form affects the headlights ability to shine the road or give a red tint.

Looks nice! Very tempted to do something like this. The red glow goes away when you turn on your lights right?

Beat ya to the punch lol. One post above yours I answer the question.

Fyi, red sidemarkers are only legal in the rear. The front should be amber. Technically even the clears are illegal (in the US.)

good shit bro, i did mine somewhat like yours

ahh good old fort irwin.... hope you having fun there lol

3.5 years, one 12 month deployment, and 5 rotations later in finally PCSing to Fort Jackson, SC in three weeks. Can't freaking wait! And I love your headlights. Never thought about doing the red like that.

haha nice i had to do NTC there. then my mom was stationed there too. i must say i rather be there then lovely Fort Polk. and thanks bro. i really want to do what you did to yours i think it would look sick with the red on mine

Glad you liked it.. its always good when something comes out the way you like it..
Oh and fuck the haters, someone out there always will disagree with what you do to your car because its not what they would have done.. as long as you like it, that's all that matters because your paying the bill

Words from the wise man.

Winning!

I'll be doing mine like this when I get around to doing them.

Lol good shit bro. I'm going for the Darth Maul look.
