Supra photoshop request please..

As above I have started doing some work on the supra again, I have removed the UK lights as one has fogged up since it was cleaned with a jet wash after some work. The seals on the outer edges are leaking so a simple re-seal should sort it but i have noticed a TINY amount of corrosion which has lead to me thinking about fully splitting them and re-furbing them.

What I want to do Is facelft them black leaving the oem two rings, and retro fit one of james rings to the UK largest has a ring like the facelift.

Anyone able to blacken my lights to see how they would look and add a ring on the largest bulb, I know what facelifts would look like but the lenses on the uks are completely different and I would bee keen to see what they would look like.

thanks

There you go

Do one thing mate, dont use a plain matt black. Real facelift fronts are actually a dark gunmetal inside. I can take closer shots over the weekend if itll help you. People do facelifting to the lights but totally miss the colour completley

For sure mate totally agree

No worries

What the hell

I thought it was pretty good, far better than when someone wrote the new colour word on the car.

Not gunmetal, they are a more brown type of grey.

Ford graphite grey from halfords is an almost perfect colour match.

Ok Those are my inserts in the pic I uploaded as they came out from behind the lenses for the first time. I had Halfords make up 1A1 and it's identical. Can't say I've inspected anyone elses headlights, so I'm just going by what I've seen on my own lights and read somewhere (which for the life of me I can't find the old database). Maybe someone at Toyota made a batch of MSB headlight inserts for a laugh one day?

I investigated it off the back of someone else's thread sometime ago and that's what I found. There might be variations in different headlights.

Honestly, i think the glass are better against the blue, the facelifts kind of darken the front and make it abit boring

I was thinking the same when I brought a new set and went for the facelifts as I think they look better against the blue: -

I had mine done in matt black many years ago, but mainly because it's a black car, and I didn't like the look of the grey facelifts on black car.

Hmm I'm really torn, I'd like some facelifts but equally don't want plastic lenses.

if you do go for facelifts just make sure and keep the glass, i wish i kept mine, sold for 250 in mint condition years ago.

 

Heres the catch though

 

-Glass, lenses stay nice but the inner chrome surround peels

-Facelift, plastic lenses will eventually yellow, and you also get peeling on the inside

 

both give totally different looks but just tally it all up
