i know a lot of people have painted the inside of their stock headlights white, and i think it looks sick on a white tc. What made me want to do this is the white tc at the team toyota show yesterday. I don't know if he is on here but that car looked great . I was wondering how much this would cost? any where in pa could i get it done?

 

u bake the head light in the oven thats all i know and that tc is in nova scion

 

Best bet is to do it yourself. Even a complete n00b can put a set of headlights in the oven.

<--- Complete n00b. I did it.

 

^what kind of paint did u use?
do i have to sand or anything before hand?
i am afraid to mess up my only headlights, and i don't feel like buying new ones.

 

You might try ebaying a pair, they go for a reasonable price on there occasionally. Then you can do it, if it turns out well, switch those out for you old ones, then with the extra set, try a retrofit or even just paint those and then sell'em on here.

 

those are mine...is something like that what your looking for?

 

Damn, those look sexayyy.

 

guuuh....Jealous!

 

thanks guys....yeah i bought a pair of stockies off someone here and had them painted.... turned out amazing...i get nice comments on them all the time! when i first got them i had to the orange oem bulbs, and it looked good, but then i changed to a clear bulb that lights up orange...it makes it look sooooo much better!

 

Did you have them painted at a body shop? if so how much did they charge?

 

na i had them custom done by a friend of mine, but he could definatly work at any paint shop i know....

i got the housing for 100 bucks and the painting was 200....

if you just did your own you could save the dough, but i leave the painting to the pros... let me know if you have any more questions, i actually met the guy who painted them for me here on SL

 

Did you sand them and polish/buff or w/e or did you just paint and clear and leave'em?

 

if you just tried to paint them with no prep work they would turn out like crap. the single biggest thing you have to keep in mind is that the prep work is the most important part of painting.

unless of course you want them to turn out all poopy... :D

 

my buddy greg did this as well.

obviously his is the white car, i have the car next to it.

 

So you sanded the eyebrow part flat, and the nasty amber side part flat?

I plan on painting it how you did except black, + Black Side...
