Smokin' Sexy Head Lights. [ DIY Guide] (PiX)

Just finished it, looks awsome just like I picutred it to be. The pics are without the front grill. I hate that thing, cant wait to get it painted black too. But it looks good, I will have some better pics tomorrow in the day light.



Its really easy if you want it done.

Step 1: Buy the spray tint, either from ebay or your local tunning shop.

Step 2: Get garbage bags, blue painting tape, knife, paper towels, rubbing alchy just incase.. I didnt want to take out the lights, so I didnt have to spend time adjusting it later.

Step 3: Open your hood Cut one of the bags so its a big thing of plastic. Tape it over your light and hood fender area.


Step 4: Cute out the shape of your tail lights then use the blue tape to tape the plastic bag to the car, clean the lights well.

Step 5: Shake the can and spray from a foot away. One coat, nice and easy all over the lense. If you do it too much it will run and it looks ugly. (My right one ran so I had to redo it twice. Have rubbing alchy and paper towls ready just dump alchy on the paper and rub away, it will come off.)



Take your time, I did about 3 coats, I think it could use 2 more but we will see. Reall though take your time with it, do one light coat wait 10 min to dry then do another.

Step 6: Carefully take everything off and enjoy.





Will update tomorrow with some better pics, so far what do you think. Its the first Nighthawk that I have seen with the smoked head lights, I think it looks awsome and works fine at night. What do you think?
