Blacked out my headlights last night......

And it was not fun at all!!! After wrasslin' with the jeep taking the front bumper off ect. I finally got them off.. It took awhile but at least I know how to do it now which will help when I install the HID's..The black housing definitely makes all the small rock chips in the plastic stand out more, but it was definitely worth all of the hard work. The housings were no fun at all to seperate using cliff notes from another member.. I had to bake them a bit longer to get it to seperate.. I went 225F for 20 min and had to do that 2-3 times lol..
I think it looks great with the color matched grille, I only have about 50% chrome remaining so I need to take care of that as well. Let me know what you guys think!

Cell phone pics for now...

It gives it a nice aggressive look. With all that black, you need some tow hooks and maybe a winch to complete the bad-a$$ military look.

Are you going to darken the parking lights next?
Or the fogs? I think you should do the fogs and debadge. I like it!!

I am working on my fogs now, replacing bulbs and wiring. I may see about that.
With no reflection, you would see 2 eyes.....maybe yellow bulbs.

I actually like the orange, so side indicators will stay that way, as far as fogs I am planning on some 3000k yellow HID and possibly some yellow film over the lenses.. The fogs are actually brand new pyt, got them from rock auto for like 14 dollars each with bulbs..Much brighter then the cracked/chipped factory ones..I also want to de-badge everything since my hemi logo was stolen 2 weeks ago:mad: Just need a lift with some blacked out wheels ( probably powdercoat the 18" saharas in my garage )

Once you swap out the wheels for the black out ones, if you want to sell the stock ones let me know pls.
