Default Black headlights / sidelights

Hi all,

Can somebody please advise of a supplier for the black style headlamps, sidelights, side repeaters for a classic.

Seen them on a few cars and other than ebay, I can't find a supplier. Ideally, I would like to buy all three light types from one supplier to ensure all of the same quality / colour shade.

many thanks
rossi

Rossi, its pretty easy to do yourself, with the headlights. The sidelights and side repeaters are most probably manufactured that way, where the headlights are either OEM or patent parts painted. So it is probably better to do your own.

Thanks Joey.

I presume in the oven to loosen the glue, spray the area black and put back together...

Yeah thats right. Its pretty easy. I've just done a set of JDM ones now, my third set I've dismantled. But I thought I could go without the oven part, and use a hot air gun.
It almost worked until I cracked the glass!

There might be some pics, but not of the glass removing, in my projector headlight thread.
