I also did my headlights black. I smoked the amber lens and put it back in though rather then leaving it out. I also had chrome peeling issue so I stopped and ordered some liquid mask which is basically just latex, you brush it on then it dried and you can cut it and peel it if you wish. I just brushed it in right spots. It peels off very easily with no residue, it has no tack to it like tape. Absolutely no chrome peeled even when I pulled it off what had peeled earlier. Here are the pics of mine. Not trying to jack the thread just joining the black light club that isn't crappy ebay lights.









Ypu can see the runs in the latex mask in the one pic.

looks nice man! I like the idea of the smoked reflectors. I kinda wish I had left mine in... oh well.

I have Eibach springs on koni yellow sports. I think Im going to swap the konis for some bilsteins, because the right front is blown and Im not real happy with how they ride. The springs are good, just right on the ride height, but the struts dont have enough rebound dampening on them... Anyone have any ideas how to adjust them? Mabye if I could get them dialed in good, I could just replace the right front and be done with it.

Is there a walk through out there for this kind of project? I've been wanting to replace my headlamps with black ones, but would rather go about it this route, it looks more rewarding.

There was only the clear conversion in the DYI section and no results when I ran a search.

Looks awesome by the way, and I really like the idea of smoking the amber lenses.

Thanks,
B
