Blackout Headlights Yellow Highbeams

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking about finally blacking out my headlights. I am thinking about doing it all black with yellow behind the highbeams. Anyone seen this before on the 06/07 STi headlights? Also where do you guys think I can find some of that yellow paint. I think I think it is yellow stain glass window paint but I am not sure if thats what everyone uses. Any info will be appreciated.


UPDATE 2/26/09:

So we decided to go ahead and do the headlights... i was really nervous but i think they turned out okay.. lmk what you guys think.. Speacial thanks to Sparta for helping me(more like i helped him)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not seen that before.. But yellow stain glass paint will work.

 

Or tint

 

will the stain glass paint or tint hold up with the heat?

this is what i am trying to do with the 06/07 wrx headlights..


(just the headlights.. rest of the car, not really a big fan of)

I used krylon transparent yellow paint on my foglights that have HIDs in them and never had a problem with it. You can pick it up in just about any hobby store or order it online. just do a google product search on it.

 

I have had the yellow stain glass paint on my fogs for two years no problem....

 

excellent.. anyone ever seen this done on the 06/07 headlights before.. im curious to see what it will look like..

I have to admit, I wasn't sure about these, but they're completely badass. They look particularly good with the WRB.
Good job.

 

Awesome dude. Its was actually kinda fun and I'm glad they came out good, you may have the cleanest Sti I've seen thus far

 

find out whos car that is and if it has an 01 prelude drivetrain. that looks exactly like my old acorn sans the wheels


i can see that it atleast has a twin cam motor. but mine had a black valve cover

 

did your car get stolen or something?? i donno whos car that is.. but i got that pic off of IA.. in the car pics section.. thread name "Accord Meet".

^^^ Thats what I used on my fogs it works great..

 

Why not get colored bulbs instead?

 

are you referring to my headlights or his fogs?? if you are referring to my headlights i just like the yellow backdrop where the highbeams are.. i like how it glows when the regular headlights are on...
