Blacked Out Headlight Housing and HID's

Those look great guys, I'd like to black out my headlights too. I wanted to do mine a little differently though. I wanted to only black out the background in the headlight assembly and leave the chrome finish alone that portrudes out around the headlight itself. What do you guys think of that idea?

Pix from distance and angled shots please, it is hard to see the "whole picture" with lights so close up, especially on the black ones.

any luck with the demon eyes or the halo lights... w.e. u wanna call em?.. i'm really interested cause if they look good i might do both the black out mod and the demon eyes. also with the bixenon as long as you have the ballast you dont need to mess with your projectors right?. i'm really thinking about doing HID's is it worth it for hte bixenon and the fog lights... like if i did 6000k how much nicer would they be over silver stars.... like alot brighter? and in advance thanks for answering the questions

My apologies to everyone for lagging on this mod...things have been getting in the way one of them being the garage door jam that didn't allow me to work on my jeep or take photos yesterday....could not get into my garage for 9 hours and then family issues on the eve of father's day has been making me stress out. As for your questions jeepin_it_real ill post some photos of the halos that I tested although they were not in housing unit when I tested them. They are really bright and can't wait to fit them...as soon as they arrive on the 23rd as ups promised (I was originally sent KJ halos). As for the HID the 6000K I feel is just right. I drove behind my friend for an hour after installing them and he said they were not bad...glare he said said was very similar to bmw and mercedes stock HIDs. They are an amazing improvement over the stock headlights...Don't know much about the silverstars thought. I didn't touch my projectors just installed and the light output was pretty focused and not scattered.

hyedipin...I will have more photos by monday again I apologize for not providing them sooner.

Photos Finally :twisted:

. Sorry about the wait. Before You see the photos read: I broke my driver halo and now waiting for replacement to come in so my jeep looks like a pirate :oops:

. Will have more photos and install write up when replacement comes in. Photos with my HIDS on will come after I get replacement bulbs (Two HID bulbs were bad and waiting for replacements). Write now these are the photos that I have more detailed photos will be posted later. Halos look 100 times better in person. Pictures are poor quality will borrow friend camera to take better photos.

BROKEN HALO THESE THINGS ARE REALLY FRAGILE

I got mine for 103 bucks with taxes. Just wait until the company puts them up for $99 like I did. After you win the auction just put in your paypal invoice what color you want. Write up and more pictures might have to wait as I am being bombed with summer school, money and family issues.
