curious about headlights

[trhlz1222]

im looking to replace all my bulbs (high and low). the only problem is i have hazy headlights with water on the inside.any ideas how to fix the water on the inside without having to buy new headlamps.

You can dry out the headlights with a blowdryer..And are you sure the haze is on the inside??..if its on the outside you can always wet sand if there really bad..And use some plastic polish.New Depot headlights are on ebay 50-60bucks buyitnow.plus shipping you'll have around 130-140 total in them..I have them on my car and just did the hightower mod to them looks great.Depot headlights are a OEM knockoff dont let it fool you there still good headlights.

wat is the hightower mod?

 

[fordman302]

It's the chrome piece inside the headlight that is removeable you simple strip the chrome off that and clear coat it of paint it black and clear it..

ok. how hard of a job is it to do if i buy a new pair of headlights? also how did u do your eyelids?

 

[fordman302]

Well the depot headlights i bought were really easy just used a hairdryer and a small flat head..The eyelids you can paint on or use vinyl i reccomend vinyl PM parkedcar for the vinyl eyelids..Below is the Ebay link for the Headlights i bought.One for the left and one for the right.

PM parkedcar here on CEG "private message"..Yes i have some pictures i took the other night bad quailty tho.But oh well car still looks nice..I'll post them when i load them to photobucket..Probally will be in the pictures and videos forum.

 

[trhlz1222]

thanks for the help

 

[trhlz1222]

can u put eyelids on the top and bottom of the headlight or will it not let enough light out?

 

[fordman302]

Yes you can do it the vinyle will still let light out..What color is your car.What year and is it an SVT?

 

[trhlz1222]

its a 98 svt silver but im thinkin of doing black cause i may paint it black in the future. but for now its silver

 

[fordman302]

I wouldnt reccomend doing the lower eyelids just the upper but you can if you want..If your car was black i would say do the lower as well.But it would look nicer if you painted it from the inside if you car was black..But its not that much cash to buy some vinyl from Parkedcar to do your eyelids.And i would do them in silver for now since your cars silver.

 

[trhlz1222]

ok so ill do the silver vinyl on the outside. for the inside just paint it black?

 

[fordman302]

If you wanna do the hightower mod yes you paint the removeable chrome piece black..If your car was black i would say paint your eyelids on the inside of your headlight..Both upper and lower..But sinces its silver i would say just do the upper eyelids on the outside of the light.

 

[trhlz1222]

ok. does it matter wat kind of paint for the inside

 

[fordman302]

Somthing that would be good on plastic i forget what i used.Just a rattle can of black paint from the auto store.

 

[trhlz1222]

alright thanks

 

[trhlz1222]

wonderin if i did the hightower mod if i could use silver frost to match the car or not...also if i could wat would happen if i painted the whole inside of the headlight
