So i'm thinking of upgrading my headlights but i have a few questions befor that ...
1. Do someone know how to open the headlight, because the glass of my headlights is clouded, frosted ?
2. And from the 1st question comes the second - How to clean that frost or whatever it is ... or the only option is buying new headlights ?
3.So i've read that for the angel eyes you need a 60mm and a 100mm circle the problem is that i would do them myself and i want the color of the angel eyes to be red, and i'll use diode, but i know that the red color of diode is the weakest so i am afreid that won't shine the how circle ... what do you think ?
4. The last guestion is for yours point of view ... so my car is coupe is red, my idea is to clean the headlight, paint the inside in red and then put a red angel eyes - is it going to look nice


P.S. It's not an excuse but i am from bulgaria, so if it is hard to understant my english tell me, i'll try to say it in other way !

Here it is a picture of the car ...

No problems with your English, better than some British people!

Hi,

here's a link from the How To Guides to help you on your way:

@ Stan, you've beaten me by just one second

Yeah Alesi, and you only gave half an answer!



Oh, and here's a couple of pictures of my lights painted.....

Clicky -and- clicky again

Fair enough Stan,
I only gave half an answer, but that kept me from making a harsh comment on the painted lights

Funny thing is it makes the front end look more modern although I think it also makes the bonnet look a lot shorter for some reason

I'm toying with going back to black....

IMHO Either that or the LE look.

Ah but, I don't like the LE look on a red coupé


Then again (whisper this bit) I don't like LEs anyway!

stan you got a pic from a bit further away quite like it.

I haven't, not at the moment

..well get some

have to admit for me it's one of the best styling mods i've done, really updates the look of the coupe i think

@Stan: Besides, look what painting a red car's headlamps red can do to your car: example 1 , example 2 .

well if ferrari do colour coded headlights then i think it is the way to go.
did you use a standard Gloss spray can for the housing?

I did mine Peugeot Cossack grey and i really like how they turned out. Taking the headlights apart can be a pain though, make sure you get the glue REALLY hot.

i wanna see a pic of one with red housing.

Check out the photos from the Big Coupe meet 3,my ex 20v Red has the headlights done! Its now Rhubarbs car!
Ps I think it looks superb in the red!

yes that does look sweet.
very nice Coop so did you use a gloss paint from a simple spray can?

I used Halfords colour match paint and it was fine

good man cheers.

just a quick question...do the internal sides of the lenses need a refurb, or are they usually allright...thanks...Jim
the actual underside of the lense itself

If you mean the plastic bum-shaped cover then yes they can get cloudy thanks to a stupid film that Valeo decided to fit which reacts with condensation and goes cloudy

there is a how-to on a refurb for this. seems straight forward. ish

I know and I've tried the how-to and various other methods without much success

hmm thats for the outside ? yours look pretty clear to me stan.
i think colour coding them actually make them appear clearer.
the grubby dull black only adds to the dim look.

Mine look pretty clear because I purchased a decent 2nd hand set

thats why then.

So i hope i will have time this weekend for the upgrade but i am still wondering about painting the headlights, the only black thing for contrast will be the front grill ...

P.S. There are a few details that i don't like on LE look too (writen with very very small words - please don't ban me)



Yes, i agree this one look nice but, that's not a stock coupe so the effect won't be the same on mine ...
Here a picture of a stock coupe only with painted headlights - http://tw.f14.yahoofs.com/myper/9qA...p_20061217095742365.jpg?TTQrYPJBkzPACJFK


Come on give me a little hope ...

hi mate actually you might be right with that not enough contrast.
im actually looking at a high gloss black finish to them.
i think that would look Really good.
