What's up guys, this past weekend I finally decided to black house my lights.I'm happy with the turnout and everything, any who my question is idk what to do with the corners now.I'm debating whether to go ahead and black house them also or to buy the jdm orange lens spray and make them bitches all out amber.What do you guys think? Do you think the amber would go nice on my black lara and match with my black housing? Heres a pic of the lens spray I'm talking about and my lara with the black housing

No the "Bitches" will not look nice all amber out, corners are the hardest to black out , they break when you try to pull them apart. but your headlights look nice

the headlights look good.

i'd just order some blacked out corners on ebay (if they can be found right now), and then reseal them.

most everyone i talk to regarding opening up the corners says that they're brittle, and prone to cracking.

it may just be easier to buy them, and probably almost as cheap.


but i would not amber-out the corners. for some reason that just screams of rice to me

i'd just stick with black on black, since you've alread got the headlights done, and your body paint is black. why complicate it?

Here is where I purchased my black corners.

http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Custom/H ... ts/531832/

BUT, they are not as black as they look on the web site. You can see in the pic below.

I love'em though and they will look even better when I black my headlamp housing.

Hope this helps! :D

I'm not feeling the amber on the corners. Your headlights do look pretty sick though. I think that's my first time seeing blackened gen 1.5's. Anyone have opinions on smoking/tinting the corners? That's what I plan doing to mine in 09'.

Well thanks for the opinions guys, and thanks for the link to them corners :D.I'll see what I can do with them and be extra gentle when I black house them. Hopefully they don't break lol :(.
