Wanted to upgrade headlight look without spending too much, got 8000k clear white bulbs. Now I want to know if anyone has inserted led strips or painted stock headlights themselves.

 

Painted mine.. tux black

 

Do you k is of a place to get clear reflectors? I like the black but doubt it would work well with lot white lol

 

Did you just straight paint, or prep and primer?

 

Those aren't even close to 8000k color.

 

So no advice on customizing headlights? Thanx

 

neh, I just gave it a light scuffing with a grey scour pad and then shot adhesion promoter and then the paint and clear.. the reflectors I tinted using the same process, but I shot the paint on the back side of the reflector

 

I know you can buy the whole headlights with clear reflectors on ebay for 150-200 bones.. but I've never heard of anyone selling the clear lens by itself

 

I'm just saying, those are not 8000k - 8000k is vivid blue, annoying blue.

As for customization ideas, you're the artist, it's your truck. Do whatever you like.
Leds? I like them, either halos or an audi style, I think those are sharp if done right.

Blackout the bowl and go a full retrofit? I absolutely agree, I have a retrofit, and couldn't be happier. (bilinvic)

Your ideas are good, there's nothing wrong with whatever you want, EXCEPT eyelashes - don't do that.

 

Yea would never do eyelashes, lol. Does anyone know where I can get matching paint? I have metallic sterling grey 2011 F150. I want to paint the headlight trim to match the truck paint.
