After seeing rudyjadul's ke20 with painted headlight inners that has got me thinking of doing it but instead painting mine BLACK.

 

Does anyone know the legal point of view of this? How would the effect the function of the headlights, i understand it will be much dimmer but to what extent?

 

Heres some photochops:

 

 

lazy eyes haha

 

I don't know how much dimmer it would be, But, That looks mega sex.

 

you could paint one light, Then leave the other chrome, go for a drive at night and compare them??

i would be illegal as the globe light(h4 or sealed beam) needs to bounce of the reflective part of the h/light and the lense will magnify the beam on the road.without it,it would look just like a park light!but it looks good!

That's what I thought, although my current headlights (Running H4's) have a very dull matte grey reflective surface.

go the black eyelids, there would be closer to legal than painting the inserts and it wont effect the function of your lights

Holy hell. Angry eyes FTW!!! My front end looks like it wants to kill something with these!

 

I'm sure this will still effect the beam though? Maybe i should make some plastic covers that i can clip on and off?

a lil less slant on the angry eyes and they would be perfect.

as long as there iis at least 3/4 of the clear section stilll there it should be all good

in my opinion it looks stupid.

Stupid people like stupid things. I.E. ME :P

 

I'm still undecided, its kinda cool and goes well with the 'lets do whole bunch of shit to make my car different' theme.

i like the angry eyes, but like kiahn said little less slant. You can buy the eyelids, someone else on here posted a pic up on them on there KE20 wagon. Maybe do a search, they are removable which is probably the best option anyway

yeh but it can get to the point where the car has to much going on.

Yep I'm agreeing with Nick here.

 

Troy I have said before you have great taste in style, but I think on this occasion you are taking it too far. You have done all the right stuff with that car, don't overdo it :P

I know I'm just bored haha

 

The car gets converted to manual this weekend so after that its pretty much finished minus paint and suspension upgrade.

 

I need a new car to do stuff with. Anyone got another 1000 wagon?
