Got pictures of my cleared headlights

***Mikey6p*** · 12-04-2006, 03:24 PM

I have to admit, after reading many FAQ's, the process seems very daunting. However with the assistance of Ayenoc, we got them cleared in no time. The whole baking process seems scary at first...but it is awesome. Everything gets nice and gooey, and slides right apart. You cant really tell from the pics, but I sprayed the housing gunmetal. And my H :)

Right on!!!!!!!!

yeah can't really tell from the pics that the housing is painted...but they look good...especially the H...why didn't you remove the yellow reflector? i think it would look better without it but it looks good nonetheless...

Have to keep it legal. I go to school in a city where the cops love to ticket for such small things.

taking out the reflector is legal, just as long as you have the amber bulb. Im either gonna take out the reflector or spray paint it with tail light tint spray black hehe

Taking out the reflector is NOT legal. I don't know about other states but it is for sure illegal in California....as is everything else

I cant find my !$!@#$!$ jackstands....

Looks good.

I don't want to argue with anyone about this but as long as your signals blink amber then it's legal (if you disagree please link to the current California law instead of posting an educated guess). If you have cleared headlights with amber bulbs I guarantee you won't get a ticket. In the chance that you get get a ticket from a super asshole cop then just take it to the popo station and they will prolly sign it off without changing anything. I have done this before years ago.

***SiViC81*** · 12-04-2006, 05:30 PM

^^agreed...if you get the chrome bulb that blinks yellow you shouldn't have any problems...

***Mikey6p*** · 12-04-2006, 05:32 PM

CHP site says amber bulb is the requirement...however....

I have heard of people ticketed for no front reflector in Irvine...Plus I like the look with the reflector in there anyway.

***mort*** · 12-04-2006, 05:36 PM

I like how it looks that way too. You just gotta update your sig now.

**Nomar06** · 12-04-2006, 05:49 PM

Looks good. Did you paint the bottom part of the upper grill also? All the bushes in the reflection makes it hard to tell.
