Auto links does good work. It's near Kennedy and Ellesmere. I don't know if they do headlights though.

Do you mean cracking open the enclosures or just tinting them?
Opening them is kinda specialized considering you have to be able to bake them open then reseal them properly. Also, you have to remove the bumper to take out the enclosure. There's a guy down under on this forum that could mod the parts. Tinting headlights no biggie, local tint shops.

Radical Rods Rides and restorations here in Barrie can paint your tail lights to black them out but recommend against headlights because of obvious risk of chipping.
If you want a more permanent solution you can order the JDM taillight assemblies, turn signal assemblies and fender markers in "black crystal" like I have from JZS International in Japan. Albeit this is an expensive solution. |

There is this local guy who advertises on kijiji. From the photos his work seems to be pretty clean.
His name is Johnny for wired ridez. He will do blackouts for you. Good luck contacting him.. I think calling works best. Anyone who does projector retrofits professionally should be able to black out the housings for you too. While you are in there you might as well do a projector swap. |

Wait, I misread your previous post.... I thought you said headlights. What'd they do with your tails? Tint externally, or separated and housings painted?
