Frid Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Recently been looking for some nice headlights for my truck, but can't seem to have any luck finding any that aren't those ugly halo projectors. The amber lens in the factory ones throws the whole look of the truck off. Tried clearing them before and it didn't work out too good lol and being that factory lights cost like 200-300 for a set I don't want to risk it again. That being said anyone know of any sites that might have some that I'm not having any luck finding? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpressThis13 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Rather than clearing your headlights mask off your headlights and just paint your lens over your ambers to match your truck. Its cheap, easier and personally it looks better and the replace your signal bulbs to clear or the silverstars if u havent already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z71_Denali Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 check these out: Order your 88-99 GMC Sierra Black Headlights with K2 Motor NOW for the BEST DEALS. there are a couple people on gmfullsize.com that you can pay to take the amber side markers out. laynlow77 i know is one of them. he also carries 1 or 2 in stock he has already done so that it is faster turnaround for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dv3andrs Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't know if your lights are the same as the Titans, but we (as a forum) figured out that we can bake the lights in the oven, open them up, sand the chrome inside and paint them to color match the truck, use some VHT nightshades on the reflectors and then put them back together with the black silicon gasket maker. Mine came out pretty good, I just need to reseal the driver side because I got in a rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoeaull Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hey Matt did you ever have any luck with this? I am curious too. I don't like aftermarket ones, too much chance of condensation from my experience. I kinda like that vid of the silverado lights. Wonder if that was nightshades or black paint on the headlights. Also wonder how durable it would be. I would hate to do it and then it start to deteriorate after a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinlessVillainy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If I were in your shoes, I would retrofit projectors in them with HIDs and while I had them taken apart to do the retrofit, I would paint or tint the orange reflectors to make them more subtle.
