Black crystal headlights on white classic
Anyone got a pic with a set? Contemplating the change as I think they would look good with my black fogs and splitter?

Did someone say BLACK crystal lights?
Those are black, the others still have far too much silver...

What are? Projectors? I don't think so.......
Aftermarket HID bulbs in Halogen lamp units, maybe, but projectors?

Funny I just searched for pics of a white classic with black headlights and here's a reasonably new thread!
Got to admit this is something I want to do when I finally get myself a classic, I think it looks great and white is the color I'm aiming for!
Some awesome classics up there ^^^
I'll have to look up the DIY method, guess its a chuck in the oven job?
Edit: I think this thread pretty much covers the DIY process (amongst other things) ?

Ended up going for crystals. Think if a set of black ones came along I'd be tempted.

I take it they are just sprayed matt black as opposed to being gloss? Were they easy enough to do ?

Pretty sure I did them matt black, was a while ago though.
Very easy job to do, done a couple of classic sets now and a newage.
I just heat the oven up to about 60 degrees, remove all metal clips from lamp and bung in the oven for 5 mins, remove lamp (with gloves) and gently prise the glass away from the body with a small screwdriver, once apart the inner lense can be removed and sprayed black, place body back in oven to soften the glue again, remove from oven, refit glass and metal clips. Leave to cool and jobs a gooden
Don't be scared to have a go, its simple and satisfying.

I see. Wondering if its worth getting a facelift lights to do them. Does it still look good on the non Crystals?

Just felt the need to be a little different, hence the blue wheels too.
