DIY black-housing headlights help!!
so i did mine a while ago.... in order to keep turning areas reflective i taped up the area that needed and sprayed over it.. there were some MiNOR imperfections but being the perfectionist i am, i was pretty pissed... but i was surfing ebay, where I am when I'm not on forums, i saw that some company was selling them with black in the turn signal area... if i opened them up and sprayed again that would solve my problem, but is that legal? will that work? ideas? here's a link:

of course there is imperfections. my friend did mine, masked it off and when he took the tape off, some of the chrome finishing came off. it didnt bug me, cuz i saved my ass 100 somethin bucks.
i HIGHLY ENCOURAGE u dont buy EBAY headlights. all aftermarket hadlights sucks!!

why did u mask stuff off? i thought the housing (the part u paint) could be separated from the rest of the headlight?

does anyone have the turn signal area completely blacked out? what's it look like?
Yeah, I masked mine off with tape and it took off almost a square centimeter of chrome. I got somewhat pissed until i got the chrome spray paint and a q-tip and just brushed it over the little part. Now I'm happy with my headlights.
I've seen the non-reflecting black housing lights and i prefer the reflective one over it. it's just too much black.

chrome spraypaint and qtip?! that worked? it didn't blotch up or anything? how you prevent from spraying the black areas?
