Just checking to see if there is enough interest in a Group Buy for OEM Headlights.
The OEM color matched headlights don't look very good in my opinion. How many people would like to replace their headlights with a set of OEM black headlights to make their Fit look better?
If we can get a group of 15 pairs of headlights sold, we can get them for approximately $320 + Shipping per pair. This is about $180 off of the retail price.
They don't have to be black. We can get any color. If you just want one headlight or need a certain color, post up here.
Here is a pic of how much better the black OEM headlights look than the color-matched. Pic of RickyGD's Fit:
Ok...so if you want to save $22.50 per headlight, we can do it. I figured that a lot of people wanted to make their Fits look better, so why not save money. This GB would be done through Bernardi.
Didn't someone find a way to "open" the lights in a past thread? I could buy a lot of black paint for $320.....
And as far as the fear of durability of paint, I have painted the plastic inside several European headlights (as the grey plastic yellowed with age) in the past without problems. For the last, Bosch units for a Merc 300D, I used "Testors" grey model paint without problems with solar or headlight heat/light breaking down the paint.
Sorry, not to "pirate the thread", but maybe the solution is a bit more simple and less costly? Dunno....

Id rather buy them from the factory and not worry about fogging if the sealing isn't done perfectly.
There is that factor too (fogging). I used silicone on the metal/glass European headlights in the past with few problems, but maybe not so with plastic?
I am going to pull the lights when I put in my fogs and remove my front bumper hopefully next weekend.
