Just wondering whether this can be done I love the look of the blackeye headlights from the ST200/ST24 and was told that it can be achieved by removing the headlight lenses from my Mk2 lights and then either scrape some of the silver from the housing or painting a bit of the inside of the headlights...

Can it be done and how do I remove the lenses am I likely to cock them up and what's the best way to do it?

 

using polish was what iv heard, looks cool in black

 

Any ideas on how to seperate the lenses from the main body would be greatly appeciated, I have a spare set of headlights so will be using them so no worries about damaging one but would prefer not to

 

Blackeyes now done, I finally got round to it today and it was the best Ł4 I have ever spent.

Popped the lenses off only 4 clips holding each on removed the headlight surround using the 2 torx bits and then began sanding away when I did this I cleaned the surround off again with a baby wipe but it left it more grey than black so popped round the local motor factors got a matt black rattle can for Ł4 and sprayed them with 3 light coats...lights look cock on and minus the walk t the shop only took about 45 mins for both if anyone wants to do these PM me and I can give you a full breakdown!

Will post pics tomorrow when the camera on my Blackberry aint shit!

 

sounds interesting

 

Pics as promised, someone asked me why I didn't use gloss black but I feel this would of made it look a little bit cheap!

 

looks cool mate
