tinted headlights

[Karding]

mazdamazda, I believe pareho lang yan ng smoked headlamps. Tawag naman jan dito sa US, blacked-out headlamps or simply JDM headlamps :bwahaha:

bad driver, puntahan mo na lang yung tinutukoy ni caloyski para wag ka na mag take ng risk. At least experienced na yon.

Nakakita ako sa SSH Optra na naka dark yung housing nung headlights niya.Ewan ko kung pinalitan yung headlights.Pero ang ganda talaga tignan..

[bad driver]

onga medyo masakit din sa ulo ng konti and I don't have an aftermarket replacement option if I screw up

Will go to banawe nalang cguro.... but damn, smoked headlights are the shiznit.

[bad driver]

btw, nice work chieffy! Sana magawa ko rin yan sa Paj ko

[bad driver]

chieffy,

I didn't see you actually do anything to the outer glass. You only blackened the frame. Ganon lang ba yun? you don't actually "tint" the outer glass?

I'm confused cause I saw another demo and it also only showed the painting of the "frame" and not the "glass".

thanks

[Karding]

outer glass or plastic does not need to be painted. inside frame lang yon and it will give you the desired effect.

[bad driver]

wow. ganon pala yun

but Jdms actually have tints on the glass right? (hehe.. obviously) I just thought that we have to spray a really thin coat on the glass.

The Paj Gen3's headlights do have a "frame" but it is directly adjacent to the glass. I am not sure if it will create the same effect as... let's say if I do it on a Crv. Hmmmm.... pano ko kaya i tint mismo yung glass?

[Karding]

kapatid, hindi tinted ang labas ng JDM lights. Talagang black housing ang gamit doon. Dahil ang turn signal sa loob, it cant be dark. Pati yung path ng mismong bulb/light, dapat hindi dark. Kaya housing lang ang dark.



The 'frame' that you are talking about could be the same frame that I painted on the WRX bugeye.

another good example, 2000-2004 Eclipse black housing

thanks, Karding.

ganda ng optical illusion ang nagagawa ng black housing

[chieffy]

everytime tinitingnan ko yung headlights ng EK9 ng pamangkin ko parang smoked yung plastic(not painted black) at pati yung reflector part...tingnan ko nga ulit nang maiigi...

yung mga ginawa ko painted yung casing/reflector part...clear pa rin yung plactic part....

eto pala yung pic
type r smoked headlight

mukhang smoked lang yung reflector at clear pa rin yung plastic

[odell]

pero parang hihina ilaw mo niyan.. hehehehe..

kasi sa crystalized surface nagboubounce un reflection.. sayang naman..

[bad driver]

odell,

I think they avoid the reflective surface just the housing/frame.

damn, ganda talaga. unfortunately, parang di yata eto pwede sa paj ko kasi nga yung frame e konti lang at directly adjacent sa glass. no room to reflect the dark surface.

hehe... luma na kasi yung 98 paj io ng dad ko kaya kala ko sinadyang malabo and glass

[quiksie]

ganun lang pala yun. Binebake lang. Parang gusto ko din niyan

Ganda ng timing ng thread na to ah. I just had my Civic headlamp cleaning done last monday sa Evangelista. Yellowish na kasi yun cover and I can't clean it from the outside. They do the same way of heating (heat gun) the sealant area and prying the cover and housing. They use rubbing compound to clean the plastic cover. I paid P800 for 2 headlamp. Sayang sana napapinturahan ko na rin.

[bad driver]

astig talaga smoked headlights.

Fieldmaster, anung shop mo pinalinis headlights mo? Mas madali kasing pumunta sa evanghelista.... less stressful pa. Baka magdala nalang ako ng spray can... hehe.

[Jeepcruizerph]

anong kulay ng spray maganda?

flat black, black or gray?

tnx

[caloyski5]

diba sa honda civic black chrome yung headlights? may nag ba-black chrome kaya ditow sa pilipin?

[trex]

meron po bang mga disadvantages pag nagpa smoke ng headlights?

[chieffy]

Chieffy,
Ilang oras mo ginawa at magkano inabot? Balak ko kasing gawin or...

yung pagbubukas mga 1-2 hrs siguro...overnight yung pagpapatuyo ko ng paint...swiss knife, screwdriver at cutter lang gamit ko kapatid...charge ko noon is 1300 per pair yata...cost: presyo lang ng silicone sealant, high temp black spray paint, konting 3M Plastic Cleaner at 3M Plastic Polish, sangkatutak na pigil hininga(sa pagpwersa at pangamba na baka mabungi/mabasag yung housing...walang pawis nasa airconditioned room kasi ako kapag gumawa nito he he)

ipagawa ko na lang kaya sa yo.

ayoko na he he...nagkakasinat kasi ako palagi kinabukasan pagkatapos kong gumawa nito...ewan ko ba, sa pagod lang at natitiyempo lang siguro...punta ka ng makati peeps eb sa Lunes at turuan/simulan ko para sa iyo(kung headlight ng civic ek iyan ha)..iyan na lang magtuloy
