I don't think it's paint. You might be able to buy smoke-tinted lenses.

These are made by Hella, and maybe they make something for the 4th gen Civic.

no doubt, I've seen him race at race city, but never noticed his lights until today.. Well, painting the bezel isen't too good if i plan to drive at night... But i don't wanna buy the light's if i can make them.. I paid $600 dollars for my civic.. why spend $300 for headlights? Well i've "accidently" made black chrome once using engine paint.. mabe i can pull it off again..

i think (think) he ran a high 14 :dunno:


and as for the lights... there from a jdm crx si.... or zc as some call it. there exactly the same as usdm crx lights in shape but they only hold one bulb (usdm holds 2) and i think there plastic not glass. therefore they dull and look weird. there not black or anything. just some excess jdm bling :D

To update this thread, they are jdm zc headlights which come plastic. If not polished they look blurry, his are polished with a black housing which Nick painted inside the glass(I believe). illeagle did his tonight on his ef, and he painted the inside of the glass with a tint/clearcoat mix. He says they turned out good, and hes doing mine soon :tongue:

Thank you. You finally answered my question, I was always wondering if that was Pats previously. I cant remember who said it, I was talking to both, Pat and Nick, about em and I gather it was a group effort.

88CRX, it changes the look of the whole headlight, As you know they arnt very clear, so it just gives them a darkend (sp) look I guess.

actually, I used a mixture of Sikken's paints and some Flex agents. I was too busy to crack open the headlights and paint the inside, so i just sprayed the outside, Just so Pulse_crx can see the outcome. I added alot of flex agents, and packed on the clear. I'll have a pair properly done, by the time this "tester" chips away. hehe
