Painted Headlights?

[Yuk0n07]

Hey guys haven't posted in about 8 months, had some health issues come up. Haven't touched the yukon since then, but hope to get back to it this summer. I'm looking to get stock headlights for my yukon painted black. I know blackflamecustom does this but I don't want HID right now. Wondering if any members on here do this or anyone know of anything? I know I could buy a replacement set and do the oven process but I don't have a lot of free time right now.

You could probably take it to 504 motoring and have it done.

Who are you? You must be the new guy!


j/k man, hope everything is ok.



I've heard it's really hard to open OEM Yukon lights. The TYC headlights are easier to open. But there are people who have just opened them to paint them.

thanks nathan, ya it seems like i might just have to try it myself, do you know of any how to videos for the yukon headlights? Sorry about the trim piece I was supposed to send you, if you still need it I got it and can actually send it out now ha

I'm sure they are the same as any other headlight. around 250 for 10-12 minutes

Ya i found a set of TYC, if i went with the fake "projectors" off ebay but just used my regular lights not looking to put in HID's does that still have all the same issues that come with them?

 

[NathanJax]

those fake projectors are just crap. I have the OEM replacements made by TYC

Ya I just read Serge's lighting sticky and I'm just gonna order the TYC and give it shot. On a side note, I'm getting new tires put on this week any suggestions?

I just painted mine on my Tahoe. I had to bake them on 275 for at least 30 min. And even then it was a pain. Time & Patience is key. I had to quit the first night I tried it, and had nightmares about the damn headlight. But it looks awesome when its done IMO.

Do you have any pictures of them?
