can this be done on the Xb?
i had it done on my del sol but wasnt sure if anyone had done it on the Xb....

when you painted the lights on your del sol did you mean something along the lines of the transparent candy shades used on tail lights to tint them?

if so i'm sure it could be done....dont see why not..

Btw what year and model is your Del Sol my husband has a 1994' Vtec just painted it red too. i find that both the Xb and the Del sol both have that fun to drive factor hehehe which makes them great cars IMO

Like this?

how did you get your headlights like that

windowtint

he opened them up, taped them off ... and painted them. tada! all done.

jarrod

how did you do this??
does this affect the lighting projection at all??

windowtint

no, MAX's paint job would not affect the light projection/pattern. As you can see, there is no paint on any part of the reflector surface.

Again... open them up, tape them off, paint them. Reassemble.

aireck

just be carefull when you heat them up to open them...
thats the only reason i haven't done this to mine...

SEE! It was 'easy' wasn't it Jarrod. It's just a car - gotta jump in and tear stuff up, it's the only way to do it.

--Buebie-- more pics are in the 'www' link in the signature. I didn't/don't want to post off-topic photos in Jarrods thread.

jarrod

go right ahead... haha.... yea i couldnt get them open for over an hour... but once they pop the fun dont stop!!

i tried painting my headlights with testors transparent black. It came out a little bluish for some reason, and had a rough finish to it. so i took it off with alcohol.

Good job jarrod, saw them today and now see what you had to do.

windowtint

they aren't ALMOST like my headlights - they are my headlights (I 'deleted' the 3 LED ports). Looked at the diagram you referred to, I don't seem to remember them being missing on the headlights I installed. Maybe you got a bum pair??

trebor

Wow, thats the opposite from mine. I had to break those claws off to make mine work or the bumper wouldnt go on. I bought the cheap ones on Ebay though, shoulda paid a little more and got the Helix brand. I still might.
