Hi, I have a question how much would it be for me to take out my VY headlights and ship them to you to have them painted black. Would save me some
Money instead of buying all new black ones id imagine, do you do somthing like this or no ? And what would the turn around time be ?

3 options

Send me your lights. It will require new lens in the process. With lens and paint it runs ~800. including return shipping.

I can sell you new lens with instructions on how to change them. While they are open have a local paint shop paint you bezels. Would save the most money. Lens run 339.00 shipped pr.

Buy a set of my used black with new lens installed for 1080. then sell yours on here or eBay to offeset the cost.

IF I do it I'd need about 10 days roughly.

I hooked up the Halo lights you sent me to a 9Volt Battery on Friday and When I got home this morning they were still on. Those suckers must use no power whatsoever

That'sgood to know. They won't put any stress on th stock lighting circuit.


BTW your cores showed up yesterday, Thanks :cheers:

awesome, they probably need some new lenses :D

Indeed they do. Must look tremendously better now. Time to get on that wide body...

yeah I need to find some fenders now since the others I had didn't fit for nuttin'

Corvette Recycling have some fairly reasonable...

How difficult are they to install?

Not too bad. Most are able to remove and install the lights in 2 to 3 hours. I have good instructions I include with the sale. Basically remove enough screws from the fenders and top of front bumper to create enough space to get the lights out.

Local dealer usually allows 2 or so labor hours to do this for you as well.

search the General Section of the forum. Type in black headlights and you should get more than enough info from those that have posted their results. See Forum Member Thrash posted thread.

Do you have any pics of a Jetstream blue w/black headlights? I'm toying with the idea

Yes, Thanks to Ken Horse.

Man that looks really sharp.

Ok, now I'm really tempted. When I buy a set of black headlights from you, do you include all the bulbs/ballast/etc or do I need to swap my existing ones over? I feel like my JSB headlights would be worth more if they included all the items to make them plug and play.

Also, do you take the old ones in as cores or are you not interested in the painting process?

The lights I send you would be plug and play unless you wanted otherwise.

I usually only buy damaged lens lights and pay up to 200.00 set so you would definately get more for them here or on eBay.

I can also just do your lights. Comes out to about 800. with paint and new lens.

The ones you sell for 1080, are those OEM black? Or have they been painted?

They are generally going to be painted as almost all my trade in are a different color.

My painter, who is one of the best and oldest running Corvette oriented shops around, uses the 2 stage process and OEM paint code to paint these. There are literally hundreds out there over the past 4 years with absolutely no problems reported.

You can do a search on black headlights. A lot of the threads will concern my customers that have the black painted headlights and ask them if they are happy.

Oh I'm sure they would look fine, I was just curious, that's all.

I'm torn on adding more power to the car, or working on the visuals right now so when I decide that, I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks for the info

Bump

how are the halo's coming?
