Default Blacked out everything but the reflectors on my 97 headlight

Damn , I didnt even know a bonniville site existed like this .....cool . Thought I would post pics of my headlight mod . It made the front of my 97 look alot more with the times and it still looks like it could be stock . All I did was separate the headlight lens , and corner lens from the housings and painted everything but the reflectors flat black like the newer style headlights . Also on the clear headlight lens I had to paint everything but the front of the lens , on that I painted on the inside . Its pretty easy to do , just tedius , getting the housing warmed up enuff to not spider web the chrome reflectors and to make the sealant plyable enuff to pry the lens apart . The lens and housing are VERY easy to crack . Definately worth the time spend , the end result looks awesome .








....and heres what happens when u get lazy and dont heat the lens up enuff . I thought the lens was plastic lexan , but its glass . Now I gotta look ghetto fabulous till the new headlight comes :(

That is one sweet mod you've made ....you're right it does make the car look much more current. Tough luck on the crack...happens to the best of us.

Welcome to the club....hope to see you around.

That is pretty cool. Looks like the 2000+ headlights. Nice job.

Has it affected the brightness or light dispersion at all?
