Any guides to blackout OEM headlights?

Hey guys

Is there any guide on here for blacking out our headlights? Yes I understand there is aftermarket headlights like SPYDER but they don't fit OEM Bi-Xenon headlights.

Any tips or guides for those who are experienced?

Thank you!

Wow. Why not take a few breaths and relax before you start posting. Try this also https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-painting.html There are several threads on this, which is why it was mentioned to try the search feature. I just typed in "black headlights" and found this.

That's basically what I was getting at. If you were asking for opinions you may want to relabel your thread to specify that. Or mention the fact that you searched prior to creating your post and that you wish to gain insight from people that have done it. I used the link posted above to do mine. I would also reach out to Juno. He has done numerous sets of lights. I believe his alias is mikounj or something. I could be wrong. He told me that it is easier to mask things off with the use of plasti dip.

There goes again! Spec_ davis with his useless post... hey spec do you see that Invain15 just mentioned 50 min before your post about search? Im sorry 1darkchaos, i definally feel your frustration. There are many people in the forum who dont have life... guys, sometimes people can just make a new thread and ask questions without searching with variety of reasons. INVAIN15 have a point about recommending him to search but whoever repeatings after that is just annoying and useless.
