Hey guys, what would be your opinion on painting the housing for the headlights into black? Is it risky?
Please assist.

 

What about the reflector on the turn signals?

 

true point health services,
I dont think the housing should be touched, they're nice how they are...

 

Please sell your MB immediately and buy a Honda. Tks!

 

 

I think hes talking about the interior housing (not the lens)? A lot of guys do this on the C Classes.. looks good. I dont know why this is ricey/ghetto??

 

Yep, everyone it entitled to their own opinions, but you are definitely wrong. It would look like *** on a W211.

 

I think that's exactly what he's talking about. But if you look on the high beam it is all reflector, same with the turn signals. I'd like to see what it would look like but if you paint all of it what happens when the high beams or the turn signals go on?

Is there some one here that can photoshop a car to see what it would look like?

 

IMO, blacking out the headlight assembly would look like ***. It might work well for other cars or black cars, but I think it just wouldn't flow right in most cases. Oh...and I believe this is what KosherBenz was implying when he said ricey.

 

damn thats some ugly *** hondas. Thats the kind of civics that gives honda a bad rep. But I also agree that I think it would not look to good on a W211. If it was on a black car, what if it was like a black chrome....just thinking out loud.

 

it all depends....on a black car i think it would look ugly but on lighter colors it would look nice if you have a black/white or whatever theme......i had it on my w210 and it looked nice

 

What exhaust do you have on that W210??

 

Definitely looks different! I kind of like it. But does your hi-beams do anything when they are on?

 

thanks......what do you mean???high beams look the same as it would stock...

 

Sorry from the pics on your sig it looked like the two center light reflectors were painted black too. I looked into some of the past posted pics and assume they are not now.

 

tell you the truth i'm not sure since i sold the car, let me check some pics....

ok they are black.....

 

AlexBenz, What exhaust system did you have on??

 

ok...
