Smoked Lights

Post by SammyH »

I've already tinted my standard rear lights, but i saw a picture of a corsa c with tinted headlights. What do you lot think it'll look like on an arden blue corsa b?

look in to depo's mate, standard headlights with the inners paint black. lots of people have them and they look loads better than using tinting spray on them. and wont interfere with the brightness of function of the lights.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

You can do it to your headlights easy enough, heat round the glass with a heat gun, take glass off and paint inners

in the last pic i have halos fitted in the headlight but you get the idea of how they look when done ;)

its better to use "depo" headlights rather than "valeo" ones cos depo's will seperate ALOT easier than valeo's

It was a case of buy new headlights or spend 10 mins with the heat gun which costs nothing, the other light was a lucas but they all come apart easy if you can be bothered to do it yourself instead of getting you wallet out ;)

It would appear as though Depo lights are very hard to come buy :( no one wants to sell them. The only pair ive found are £60 and have a cracked lens.

I searched for ages to get some with no joy, people snap them up straight away! it's even hard to get hold of standard non blacked out headlights made by depo. You could have your own lights stripped down, painted and put back together before you ever see a set of depo's for sale ;)
