Has anyone tried painting the interior of the Kouki headlights black? (Kinda like blackout, but the chrome parts are black) I've seen posts alluding to it, but I've never seen a specific reference to any painted kouki headlights or any pics.

 

you have to heat up the lights in a oven to get them apart to do it. a few guys did it to their integra's on the teg site im a member of i'll look n see what i can find

Go try it out...be a guinepig

 

that would look nice
let me know how anything u try turns out i would do it to mine if it works out well

 

I was plannin on doing this to my headlights too but I've got a zenki. I actually have a whole thread on it at www.nissanforums.com. Its in the S14 section under "Smoked Headlights" Its almost at the end of the section. http://www.vqpower.com/v2/modules.p...showpage&pid=52
Here is a link of how to do it but on a Maxima. But I would recommend going lower that when "baking" your headlights. Probably like 170 at first and move it up if it isnt warming it up good enough. And most of all make sure to take your time so you dont break the lense.

 

I baked, took apart, blackedout, rebaked and put them back together on my altima headlights. Im sure doing taillights wouldnt be much different.

 

they're talking about headlights

 

my bad

I've been wondering this same question and I finally found what I was looking for. This is actually a thread about a turbo kit but there is a pic of the exterior. Probably the same thing you were looking for too.


looks damn good IMO

 

i was a little skurrd puttin my zenki headlights in the oven.. so i sat there for 45 minutes with a hair dryer.. hey.. at least i got em black now.. kinda..



i painted the top and bottom parts with black ENGINE ENAMEL.. make sure you get that kind cuz damn.. it gets mighty hot up in there

edit:
i also color matched the corner lights cuz damn.. it was to 'white' to match my car color and the darkened headlights
jes thought to give you guys out there some ideas

 

ixcocoyxi, i am interested in how it came out. im sure all of us would love to see some more pics.

 

I'll be doing mine this next week (Spring Break). I'll take pics of before and after to show the contrast. I'll be using gunmetal wheel paint which also holds up well to the heat.

 

sounds cool im sure everyone will apreciate pics.
