Just dip the whole set in a big bucket of black paint and voilà… ok maybe not… please do not try that and read the rest of the post…
I have a white teg so I’ve always wanted to do the jdm itr headlights conversion because I think they look sick. Since it’s going to cost me an arm and a leg (or all 4 of them) to do that I just decided to make my own. I took some photos while doing it so you can all see how it’s done. My real inspiration and idea came from the JDM Prelude one piece headlights (black housing).
This job was not really hard to do but simply boring and relatively long. I have no patience at all when it comes to painting so I found it very long.
Ok here it is…
First I would like to thank Oscar (THE OZ) for helping me to remove lens from the assembly and by helping I mean doing most of the job. He definitely has more patience than I do and I didn’t want to run the risk of cracking them.
Then I’d like to thank my fans for buying my records and my
manger and mom and dad… ok ok I’ll stop… I’ve always wanted to say that
And here are some photos. There isn’t much say. I guess the photos speak for them selves.
Some of you might not think that it looks good and that’s cool. I’m really happy with the results and I like the way it looks on the car. I don’t think it will look that good on dark coloured cars but on white or yellow… yummy
I installed them last night so I still don’t have any photos of them on the car but I will soon.
painting the inner side of the lens… these parts go under the hood or over the bumper but painting them really makes a difference. Just look at the Prelude one pieces.
Lots of masking tape…
now painting the housing… you don’t wanna paint the whole thing cause then there would be nothing to reflect the light from the bulbs and… well lets just way that’d be dumb…
tip: go easy when taking off the masking tape, you might take off some of the chrome reflector with it. I learned that the hard way
AND VOILÀ…
oh and I also got rid of the ugly nipples. Looks SO MUCH better now.
I painted over the stock “chrome paint” I didn’t like the way it looked.
Here’s how it looks now… it’s a bit too big for my taste but I’m pretty happy with it and I’m not gonna redo it.
:whoa: :drool: :whoa: :drool: that looks so nice i think i just might have to get some 1pieces just so i can do that. I have a black car and that would look sooo tight daaaayuuumm
Oh i just got an idea, you should do the same thing to some all clear tails, but paint the bottom 1/2 red and the insides (minus the reflectors) black. I bet that would look pretty nice too.

:werd: that looks hella sweet when u gettin some one pieces to sell man!?
Those are sick as hell!!! How do those look on your car? I have a horizon grey teg, and I think those would look sweet!!! Show a pic of those on your car, then I can photoshop how they’d look on mine!
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Since you’re all asking for pix I went out and took some photos. There’re a bit dark but that’s all I’ve got. But for some strage reason imagestation won’t let me upload any photos. Can someone host them for me or tell me where I can host them?
some company needs to make some integra headlights without all those lines to break up the light on the cover…wait…since the JDM ones are plastic, couldn’t someone sand the cover down and polish it up or has it already been done? I cant do this mod cuz i would probably ruin my headlights so I’ll leave it to the pros. maybe one of you guys has an answer for me?
:whoa: :drool:
