Damn, I thought I was the only one to paint the rings around the projectors



I also did the tails



Scott-

 

 

not gr8 pics but a fellow metro member took my headlights apart and painted the side amber piece flat black and used translucent tint on the turning signal part. now when i use my turning signal its more red. but when off it all looks black

 

I'm not at all against modifying cars, but something to keep in mind is that you're changing parts on your car that are related to safety. For example, s.hasan546's modification of painting the side-facing reflectors black causes them to no longer be reflective to vehicles approaching your car from the side.

Additionally, modifications like these are often illegal. In most states there is regulation stating that automobile reflectors (lights) must reflect certain colors of light. Black Knight's clear side lenses, for example, now reflect white in color, whereas they used to reflect yellow/orange.

Just something to think about if these types of things concern you.

 

about the on coming side cars, we have side markers. but yeah there are laws for the lights. and there are laws for the speed in which you can travel, who else besides me, drives 5 miles UNDER the speed limit? anyways not to get off subject, but only those with really bad luck would run into a cop that is in a bad mood that would care.

 

also taking apart the light, does that not have bad consequences if the future, like cloudy lights? i mean all light will, but my friend did it and now it is becoming foggy on the inside, not because on moisture but just over time it happened.

 

he didnt seal them correctly. I've had mine sealed by a local member and have had zero issues... it's be almost 2 yrs. and still clear as new.

 

hum, i might look into that. thanks

 

The sidemarkers on the S2000 only illuminate when the turn signal is activated.

 

was that not the point? then why do we need the reflectors? dont we need then to signal, a turn or emergency?
