Blacked out the headlights
 

Followed the DIY, but didn't black out all of the reflector.

I painted the bottom of the high beam reflector so that when your looking at the light from above (which is always), it looks completely blacked out.

High beams are only slightly dimmer. Wouldn't have noticed if I didn't know.

Thanks. It was way easier than I thought it would be. I was worried about baking the headlights, but that was the easiest part. I couldn't find anything that would clean the reflectors without leaving whitish haze and streaks. Tried rubbing alcohol, pure alcohol, glass cleaner with paper towels, cotton, microfiber. Nothing got it completely clean.

siiiiiiiiiiiiick! Welcome to the club :thumbup::thumb up:

On a side note, I see you are in San Diego. You on the SoCal 86 Facebook page?

what type of paint did you use?

that looks f'n clean

Thanks Suave. I haven't seen the Facebook page, but I'll check it out!

Pcporo I used this stuff just caus' I had it on hand and it was flat black. Attachment 70097

Thanks BR. Removing he front clip was hardest part. It'd be easy to do again though.

hey I was planning on doing the same thing maybe, have you tried your high beam? I'm wondering if blacking out the bottom would make a difference.

wow why didnt i think of that... i want to reopen my lights and do the botom portion now. is that advisable? haha open them again within days? bake multiple times and shit

Ive only seen one instance on this site of the baking going wrong, and that was when someone baked their headlights like 5 times in a row, so i would think you'd be ok. just don't crazy though.

You'll be fine, just be aware of how much sealant you're losing each time.
