Smoked 96' EK headlamps...

[Zeroed]

Hello guys. I would like to source a set of these but Ive had trouble finding them...

Crystal lamps or smoked or taiwan or whatever lah, you guys know where to get?

Hopefully at a reasonable price too or I guess I could just get some normal EJ lamps and DIY the smokin'

DIY blackhouse! costs you less than Rm50, even less if you know what you really need!

I did mine for under RM30 and took me a good 3 hours. (Accord lights, even had the time to mod my reflectors so my HID output is better know)

time well spent.

That, or go for the DEPO lights. good price, but not too sure about the Q.

but blackhousing will make the headlight 'look' darker without compromising the lens by way of tinting.

but i doubt a slight tint will affect the output.

if want to make it look 'smoked' tint is the easiest way. or do it the old fashioned way by 'smoking' the lens hence the term smoked.

DIY is way cheaper, bro.
Just try to find out some treads regarding smoke headllight in DIY section, they are quite helpful.

Basically u need silicone glue, spray paint and PATIENT, this is most important.

BY the way, here is mine.

Thanks guys for your input. Yeah I actually meant to say blackhousing, not making the cover dark. :)

I guess ill probably look for a set of normal 96 headlamps and DIY lah... but Im not sure if I could make the plastic clear like crystal lamps.

Hawick yours look good. :o Pretty much what I wanted to get, but most of the lamps I saw are 99' spec ones or projector lamps (which I dont like).

LOL @ asap kemenyan

Im not too sure about this, but assuming the construction is very much similar to the Accord lights (CB/CD) its pretty much a straight forward job.

I did mine in around 3 hours (inclusive of drying time) and reassembling my bumper.

The main issue to take care off is resealing the lens cover. I used normal silicone sealant and a can of flat black paint. Prying open the lens is just a case of dissolving the old seal (acetone works wonders, WD-40 is also a good alternative)

Good luck bro!
