Headlight dress up?

[Steve88]

Any ideas on dressing up the headlights on my 88? Haven't seen a lot of nice add-ons... I'd like some cheap ideas if you have any? Nope, don't want to buy a new grill.

I was thinking of just getting some tinted plexiglass and cutting some covers. Anything that would do it without hiding the lights too much. I do need to see at night!

Any ideas?

You could add a little shag carpet around the enge to give you an eerie lighting scheme!!!!

I had those covers up until the time I was pulled over and asked to remove them. They did cut about 20% of light intensity, but they looked really good.

I pulled the covers off and painted them black...looks nice.

How about window tint and cut a bowtie out in the center?
I'm sure the cops would love that one!

It looks fine the way it is!

Where's your bowtie?....

flat black spray paint
w / masking tape
its addictive...

 

[Steve88]

hmmm....yup, the previous owner neglected to add it back after he put that snazzy square tube grill on....at least that was his excuse.

I need another one for sure.

As for painting the headlight trim black, I tried it (in PaintShop-Pro anyway!) and it kinda makes it look like the trim is missing. What if I wrapped some chrome mesh-screen around the trim to make it "rock resistant"?

this may be illegal for vehicles operating on u.s. highways.

in my ninja days, we would use pinstripe tape to black-out our taillights. space the stripes horizontally, one stripe width between each one. no difference in light output, but it looks blacked out when lights aren't on.

i like the screen idea, also. you could paint the screen, maybe with a bow tie.

Hadn't thought of that. Here I was trying to think of a place to get chrome screen. I might try the painted approach. All white with a bow-ti in the middle!

(can ya see the light bulbs lighting on top of my head?)

Looks fine to me. Except for the missing bowtie. Maybe a junkyard for just the chrome outer part of a stock grill and back that with some mesh to protect the radiator. Just an idea.
