Black headlight housing
Is it possible to open up the stock headlights and repaint the interior a different color? I want my housings black to go better with my taffeta White fit, and I dont wanna pay the horrendous amount for OEM headlights...

Might just be better to buy a set that are already black.

he did say he doesn't want to buy new ones, that's like extra $500

Once he goes to bake them he's going to see why he should just go buy another set, cause once he's done baking them he'll need another set anyways, and again this knowledge come from experience from these cheap ass plastic headlights!

well, maybe I can find someone with a black Fit that wants white headlights I personally dont want to open them up and risk ruining them, I just dont wanna spend $500 on headlights and then be stuck with an extra pair... If anyone wants to trade, let me know!!

don't know much about baking headlights. my friend did it for me for my rsx and he had to cut it open after baking it for a while. i'd imagine baking with the right amount of heat and time is the key. anyway, i think buying a new set would be a lot easier and looks more professional than going through the trouble of doing it yourself

okay guys, what would you do, if price wasnt an issue? Buy the black headlights, get a CF hatch spoiler, CF front lip spoiler, or a CF hood? Lets hear your suggestions...
also, to anyone with a Nighthawk Black Fit, do the headlights have a glossy black interior or flat black?

I'd get either the headlights or the hood because they'll give the most visual impact for the money spent. Lips and spoilers are OK, but people won't notice them nearly as much, if that's what you're going for.
I've seen the headlights up close, and they're glossy inside, but not quite the same as the paint (probably the same difference as what you've got now). They'll look sweet on you're white Fit, trust me. This is something I've wanted to do myself for some time.

sounds good, thats what I am gonna do. I plan on ordering them at the end of this week. I'll keep everyone posted and will definately post picks once I have the sawp done. I dont know if anyone else has done this yet, but if I am the first, then hopefully it turns out well. Wish me luck!
