anyone ever try repainting the reflectors behind the headlights? i need some advice if u did. my lack of headlights is killing me, but i cant afford euros or even new headlights.

 

i guess no one has tried it. are there any suggestions for a highly reflective paint that can withstand high heat?

 

Check out our good friend 2phast's website for headlight reflector painting

i checked it out, but u could u give me a direct link to what your talking about? thanks

 

lazy, tsk tsk tsk...HID Projector install

 

i wish i could do that

 

If you haven't already done so, spend the less than $40 and get a set of Sylvania Silver Star bulbs. Model #9007. This is the best route to take until you can get the Euro lights. I've had these on both my 300E and 300CE. They work very well and are a huge improvment over stock bulbs.

Best advice I can offer. Silver or chrome paint wouldn't do the trick any way, as it is the prizm design on the lens face that is the problem.

Good Luck,

i tried silverstars and it didnt do much for me. as of now i have in some hella bulbs, i forget the exact model. they arent even street legal because they are so bright...unfortunately noone would ever be the wiser if they are on my car. damn, i was hoping that painting reflectors would solve my problem, its getting bad. almost to the point where i pray for someone with xenons to get behind me and light the way for me

 

buy some taillight tint spray off ebay and tint the lenses.
would look pretty cool
not sure if its legal though
