Jake Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes Yes - Liam Lovatt did some for SupraDibs, IIRC. I think Chris Webley might have this as well. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Cool.....thx for that Jake. Didnt want to buy the lights only to find out that I can Blacken them. I'll get in touch with Liam to see whether he can colour mine then OR perhaps if the procedure is similar to the Jspec ones then I'll give it a go myself (dont want to damage the glass in the oven though - not sure how resistant they are compared to the plastic lenses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The glass won't be a problem - the oven doesn't get all that hot when your doing this. The big problem when spilting the headlights is getting the damn things sealed properly again afterwards. I was really pleased with the look of the ones I did...... untill I washed the car and they steamed up really badly. Quite a few folks have had the same problem.

Burna Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I had Liam do mine in matt black, they look the dogs dangly bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 The ones that I did I managed to seal back properly using a lot of windscreen sealant. Been on the car for a good 4-5 months now without any problem. BUT I WANT GLASS..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
