Can i get my headlights to look like this?
I found them on ebay. Can i get my headlights to look like this by baking/painting or do I need to just buy these (like 120+40ish shipping) to get this look?
Is this just the "koji mod" for those aware?
Obviously rather get jdm's/edm's but thats way in the future :P

I know :P, i meant koji in the sense of blackened housing, not the pvc turn signal (etc).
Im probably going to save the money and just bake, open up, color the backing black similar to the pic, do some cleaning, and close um up.

Ok so i spent (and will be spending) all of tonight working on uninstalling, baking, 5 coats of paint with 20-30 minutes in between on the housings and reinstalling.
I finally got the first housing done with paint, stripped the tape and put in the bulb housings (orange and clear). Looks sick so far! I think for the reinstall, im probably going to put the headlights back together and hold them together and hair dry for awhile to re-seal.
Note to anyone wanting to open your lights up: Tape up your clear headlight face so when you pry open the headlights, the glue doesnt get ALL OVER them... :P
For pics; my facebook has them

..back to work lol
