so i today i tried blacking out my headlights and it didnt go so well! they look awful and now im going to have to buy new ones. I would love to buy new black ones but im not sure where the best place to buy them is? i want good quality, no leaks or anything. but i dont wanna pay a ridiculous amount either. so any help or leads would be nice!

FeaRlezZ · October 15th, 2011, 08:26 PM

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 08:29 PM

FeaRlezZ · October 15th, 2011, 08:30 PM

BPHILLY22 · October 15th, 2011, 08:33 PM

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 08:37 PM

Asian Cracker · October 15th, 2011, 08:45 PM

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 08:48 PM

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 08:53 PM

ok great. i cant decide on the black euro ones or the black halos

FeaRlezZ · October 15th, 2011, 08:55 PM

the euros r just stock headlights with black housing

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 08:57 PM

thats what i thought. im thinking the other ones

BPHILLY22 · October 15th, 2011, 08:58 PM

yea might as well get the halos

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 09:02 PM

i think im going to!

FeaRlezZ · October 15th, 2011, 09:04 PM

Mike61 · October 15th, 2011, 10:30 PM

Asian Cracker · October 16th, 2011, 08:11 AM

clay bar

Mike61 · October 16th, 2011, 08:22 AM

I will try that. I work at a car dealership so that's a plus

rdelaney89 · October 16th, 2011, 09:09 AM

apparently goo gone takes it off

Mike61 · October 16th, 2011, 03:56 PM

i had to wet sand and buff it. now im just waiting on my halos!

OrangeDemon · October 16th, 2011, 03:59 PM

Im pretty sure brake cleaner will take off the mess up you made, then you can retry.

Mike61 · October 16th, 2011, 04:01 PM

i think they are way too scratched up to even retry lol

cmattox23 · October 17th, 2011, 10:55 AM

Brake cleaner to take the film off. Then wetsand it and work thru different grits and then buff out the rest with mcguiars plast-x. Takes time tho

I think all the after-market halo projector headlights are the same thing....made by the same company just marketed all over the place...so just go with the best price.

Mike61 · October 17th, 2011, 04:32 PM

I bought some black halos for 179, seemed fair enough

52pickup · October 17th, 2011, 07:09 PM

dn't use nightshade again autocityimports sales a head and taillight tint its not that hard to put on but u have to wait a week for the lil bubbles to fade away

Steveo · October 17th, 2011, 07:59 PM

I like the halos. I have the black euros tho. love em. Had a bad experience with halos on my mustang back in the day..euro black + 6000k hid's look sick..

Mike61 · October 18th, 2011, 07:44 AM

i almost bought the euros, we'll see about these halos

I-Eat-Hondas · October 18th, 2011, 10:30 AM

Autocity imports for sure, good people, great service.

Mike61 · October 18th, 2011, 08:09 PM

anyone know how to wire the halos by using a toggle switch instead of splicing them into the parking lights?
