bgdsub72 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I bought an extra set of headlights and park lamps at the swap meet to mess around with, so I took out the amber reflectors and painted them black. Here is the end result. Thanks for the idea Sickboy! Before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgdsub72 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 here are the night pictures, I masked the 3/8" spot so the amber would shine through a little bit, and I put one light coat of black over it so it would not be noticeable during the day. You can also see the HID's here and the HID light (still kind of purple because it was warming up) and blury because of my POS camera taking crappy pictures at night with no flash...

WEEZARR1&SS Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 They look great!! so how hard was it to do?? There was a few questions in an other post today asking how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdsub72 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 They look great!! so how hard was it to do?? There was a few questions in an other post today asking how to do that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> quite honestly they were a PITA. I did not use a hair dryer or oven, just sunny CA weather. Start by jamming a flat head in and loosening the silicone. Then pry deeper and deeper untill the lense is free. My word of advice for anyone who wants to attempt this is start at the corner of the lense away from the amber part. Then work your way in...

Edit - and, after the oven the polycarb lenses now have a 'rainbow' in them, so I'm seriously thinking of getting a used pair of headlamps off eBay and doing it over, without the oven. I also have a butane-powered soldering iron, I think I will try using that as a hot-knife and that may do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great looking truck and the lights look good!. Bob <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes the truck is lifted about 6 inches plus I have GM green keys and a crank on the torsion bar for an additional 2-3" The total lift is somewhere around 8-9" and I have 35" x-terrains, but I am sure I can clear 37's with the new torsion keys.
