New Black Headlights

Just felt like doing something new. Here are a few pics. I still have the original chrome headlight trim to switch whenever I want to.

here is a video of it http://youtube.com/watch?v=5atunaxbC9w

I like it. Looks real clean and goes well with the roof.

thank you. It was a long process. I used parts from trashed headlights at a junkyard. Still dont know if it's going to be the final look. I would like to see this done to a black CLS or a burgandy. I think a color matched headlight might look cool on the CLS. Like the new Corvette.

I'm pretty sure somewhere on here there is a pic of a all blacked out CLS, headlights and all. I would keep it. It goes well with the car. You should definitely get the Stealth bulbs though and get rid of the egg yolk look. I have them for mine but for some reason cannot get the stock bulbs out to save my life. Every time I try to change them it feels like I'm going to break the bulb or housing. There has to be any easy way to change them. Have you had to change yours before?

The only way to get that bulb out is to take off the headlight. Its a pain, because you need to take the front bumper off first.

Love the all black look. Who did your grille & door handles? Is the windshield tinted?

that looks awsome!!!! I would love to see a pic of the front. post one if you can.

The pic of the white Lambo is what inspired me to do this mod.

your car is in dying need of the ASMA grill. it would really set off the black roof, black headlights, as well as the black front bumper grill
