painted headlights on my cobalt
Thursday, July 21, 2005 9:52 AM
just wondering what everyone thinks about my headlights i took them apart the other day and painted the inside which is normally chrome, black, and cleared out the corners except for a little reflector because i think it looks fine with thtat there. also lowering springs are on their way so dont worry about that!

BEFORE:


NOW:





hope you guys like it, i think the black goes good with the wheels and ill hopefully be getting a carbon fiber hood soon so it should all flow well, tints too

Looks tight man. Love the color of your cobalt......not to jump off topic but how is the car comming along as far as comfort and dependability and what would you scale it at?

Nice job again!

Yes VERY nice man.. Either the blue of your car or black like you did would of looked good.. Like you said, the black matches your wheels.. Keep it up.

Btw, what did you re-sill your headlights with? I have to take mine apart to get rid of the fogging.

i used permatex just clear sealant stuff, anything should work fine, i like clear cuz you obviously cant see it if it oozes out or something, but i would stick with permatex brand i know a lot of people like that brand, im hoping i dont get fogging in mine but so far so good. its a pain to open em up though with the baking and sealing and blahhhh lol

Are you planning on making it look like your sig? If so, it is going to look like a mini GTO from the side

Man that looks freakin awesome.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that they came like that stock - thats how nice of a job you did.

It really improves the overall appearance of the car. Totally gets rid of the wide-eyed stock look, and makes the car so much more sleek. Those lights are just perfect like that, much better than the stock chrome housing.

Keep up the good work, you got a damn nice car there
