Blackout Almost Complete!!!

I think I just need either a joey mod or black headlamp housings and I'm done. Bit too much light in these pics to appreciate the tint/blackout so I will update with some better ones soon. Lyle did the front & rear lamp rings as well as the beltline last weekend.

My camera bleaches out the CP red too. Some cameras just don't do that color any justice.

What about the factory OEM blacked out headlights ? I think you can just purchase the newer style black housings and then swap the parts over from your existing lights so not as expensive as replacing the whole light assembly.

Looking good. Nice seeing you last weekend. Too bad it was pouring. Now we need to get together again for a road trip.

I like the look of the headlights as is and I bet it makes the light a bit brighter especially with the halogens.
