i stuck some tin foil on the inside of my headlights when i was pulling them apart to clean and fix the adjusters because i thought it would increase the brightness of the lights. It didnt and it looks garbage, but i do look like the look the lights in crome with the contrast of the red colour of the car (from afar when you cant see it is tin foil)

 

I am getting some HIDs soon and might pull out the foil and the same time. Is it possible to spray the inside of the lights with crome paint?

 

would any spray paint do or will it need to be specialised to deal with the heat from the HIDs and stick to the plastic if it is special heat resitant stuff?

 

seen a couple of threads where people have done it but they have used mega expensive stuff from the states when i just want to get some halfords stuff!

I can supply pre-chromed 99-spec inserts. Not exactly cheap at £290 but they do look superb with HIDs!

 

HTH

just seen these, WOW :bow:

 

didn't know these were available. why would anyone spend over £1200 on the whole unit? HID's with these inserts would be the exact same thing, or is there any other difference in the 99 spec unit?

did mine but didnt laquer them, the paint has cracked and has water runs in it, i believe this was caused by parking in the sun and condensation forming and then cooking off in the heat, need to do mine again

that happened to mine too tho i hadn`t primed the inserts first,did this time and so far all good.

following up my original post on this thread i primedthe inserts and chromed it with a can of normal plasticote. Simple and i think it looks great on my red zed. I would recommend it to everyone but wouldnt want everyone to do it as it is one of the things that make my zed individual!

You mean like this :p

 

 

That car is just too clean!

Alan you bl00dy poser :D :bow: :bow: :bow:
