Customizing stock headlight

I was thinking about doing exactly the same thing to the front of my tahoe with what you painted black. I love the way the Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude editions look and I was going to sort of copy that. Instead of painting the whole lower piece black, I think I might just paint the inner area of where the tow hooks stick out.

Post some pictures of the whole front end, we want to see it all.

This exactly what I want. Minus the fancy led. Ok so eat do you set the temp. on the oven and how long. Did you have to use high heat paint and what do you mean by base coat on the drls. I'm so pumped right now about doing this mine thanks for posting.

I heated at 225 for around 12-15 min. Make sure to wet a piece of cardboard and lay it on a cookie sheet. Then place your headlight on it and be sure there's no plastic touching the side walls of the oven or cookie tray, if so, it will definitely melt. Another thing, be sure to wear thick gloves when separating the lens, cause it was HOT.

I didn't paint directly on the drls (daytime running lights) I painted the inside pocket where the bulbs are located.

One thing I love of where I live is that we don't have front license plates. Totally changes the look imo.

Nice job on the headlights. Looks really good with the black grill.

Thanks for all the comments, great group of members here.

Tomorrow I'll be installing my ccm leveling kit. Then after that will be swapping out all the bose gear for a JL hd600/4 which will be powering some infinity kappa perfect 6.1 components in all doors and an alpine amp running the kappa perfect 12'' vq sub.

My plan is to install my nexus 7 as a head unit which fits perfectly in the double din frame. I'll try to get an install thread goin on during the process.

I created a post in the audio section mentioning that the bose and nav system will be for sale when done. Would much rather sell it to a member here than on ebay.

What did you use for the LED inside the headlamps? It looks like it was suppose to be there via the factory.

It's not my style, but you make it work.

Wow these look sick could you do mine I would definately pay well for this.

Looks awesome man!!

I'd like to know more about what you used to replace the reflector. Can you copy a link to the material you used? I have a nnbs Denali and I'm planning a hid retro fit and I want to remove the reflector but from the pictures I've seen if you just take it out there are holes in the housing where it snapped in. Are the Tahoe lights the same? How did you hold this plastic in place?

Once again great job!!

It's not that I don't want to do it for anyone, I live in Canada so shipping twice would be quite costly, probably $60-$70 dollars each way. Not to mention my time and $140 just for the recon lights. I just think it wouldn't be worth it for someone else.

It wasn't that hard to do, on a scale of 10 I would rate it 11.

For the reflector I used the panel that covers fluorescent light fixtures. When you remove the orange reflector, just lay it flat on the panel and trace around it. Using a dremel, I was able to cut the tabs where it snaps in the slot.

Did you do this using your stock head lights.. I'm thinking of picking these up to play around with anyone have experience with them

Yeah, I'm waking this up.

Your headlights look amazing.

How have they held up?

At least you know what you did.
