srobrien Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I've been having a look around here and on my350 about the painted headlight/de-tango mod, I've found a few pic's but I'm wondering if anyone has pic's of their colour coded lights on a GM. Just looking for some inspiration. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have had the internals painted on mine but they are azure and are the newer 06 lights.Paul did them of Dreamcustomz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Dont do it mate... while it looks good, taking the headlights apart is a very nasty job... i dont know how Paul did it. You have to melt the plastic apart using a heat gun and the point that the thick black glue/gunk melts is about 2 degrees different to the point that your headlight plastic melts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I know its a blade but Bundus has colour coded on his blade and it looks pretty cool Personally prefere them in black! But then I have no chrome on my car anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Personally prefere them in black! But then I have no chrome on my car anymore! Yeah I thought about black but im not sure if it would look like a couple of black eyes. Im not a huge fan of exterior chrome, this is one of the reasons i want them colour coded.

I'm definately doing it though as that orange strip drives me nuts every time i look at it. What were they thinking?!?! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 If you do the outers black and then keep the centre reflectors chrome they shouldnt look like "black eyes".. Have you thought about carbon wrapping the chrome outer (where the reflector is) and the front gloss black section? It looks very cool!

Not sure if it may be a bit cf overkill though but if not would look smart would save painting them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srobrien Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 A set made by a mate of mine in the states I am following his work on my350z cant wait to see all that together. I will get a hold of some of that 3M vinyl and give it a whirl, no big deal if it looks terrible. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 AB350Z (Chris) had his colour coded on his GM. My lights are actually GM too. I didn't want blue or black so went for GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
