Who else painted their headlights?
I think these look pretty cool, don't know if I would do them myself.

Me too.. But it depends on what type of theme you are going with your car. TCAT has his painted White too and it looks pretty sick.. In the pic above it looks good since its a black car so it makes them stand out..

I have mine painted. I painted the trim rings on my LS wheels and the headlights in bright metallic blue. I plan on adding hood stripes in the same color soon as well. I got some pictures of them, but haven't uploaded them to the computer. So far this is the only shot I have on this computer(can't really see that the headlights are painted, but they match the trim rings on the wheels)

I've been looking into this as well... It looks awesome, but I'd mess them up and have to buy a new set.

I thought I might do the same thing, so I actually bought a used set of headlights of another member on this forum and took my time doing the headlights before I took the bumper off to get the headlights off my car.

It's really a DIY mod. It's rather simple really. Most people are most afraid of having to bake their headlights but once you get over that, it's easy. I've done a few retrofits already and have painted 1 headlight red and the rest just wanted black.

I think the first picture is just painted white. I am thinking about painting mine ABM... My stripes are pretty close to that color. I wonder what it'd look like.
