Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Blackouts for the front headlamps

I was wondering if anybody has any pics of what blackouts would look like on the front headlights of an SVT? I see jet-black Mustangs with blackouts and everytime I tell myself (or anybody else in the car with me) how good they look and how I would love to see some on a black Contour. Or any OTHER color Contour for that matter.

So how do they look?

I think that is an older mod that people have gotten rid of (from what I read seeing as I havent been a member for a while). I hear they do not look to hot and people tend to stay away from the headlight blackout / the rear taillight blackout. Hopefully you get some pics though...

They look alright, I would rather hightower my lights instead of blacking them out though. Someone with a darker green (not amazon green) SVT on here has pictures of it. I'll try and find ehm later.

dont do it i have my tails black and that is ok but i had my headlamps blacked out and it didnt look too hot

here's a pic of mine when i had headlight covers on it. i also had a bra on the car too.

I would say stick without the headlight covers, but maybe its just the bra that makes the car look unappealing.

I'll try to dig up a picture with headlight covers for you.

what about nite shades on he head lights?? do u think it would dim the lights really bad if you only did a real light coat?

I had thought about doing this to complete the blacked out look I had with my SVT. I didn't mainly because I had HID's and projectors and didn't want to kill any performance lighting (is that even a real or apt term? ) I already had.

If one went VERY light and even, and then clear coated it for added protection..... this would look very hot IMO.

Found a recent pic on here:

yeah... IMO stay away from the blackouts... maybe a light tint would work I guess.
