izzo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 or get the yellow X-Metals spray paint in a can, and do a few light coats on the two headlights. Works ok also. Quote Link to comment

The datsun kid Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thnx guys I think I might just paint them I'm cheap!!! hahah Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would go with the painting I know you already said you would but here is another example. I had to look harder to find krylon stained glass paint and used that on mine but I like the color better than the x-metals my can was white but it will be a small can not a normal sized one and it will cost a little more. I was satisfied with the end result and it leaves a very nice even coat. I found this stuff at Michaels craft store. You will find that it doesn't take very much at all to do two lights.

ariascarlos1990 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 How bad does your guys painted kind fade/chip? There was a car at Golden Gardens that had its painted and it had chipped really bad! Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 How bad does your guys painted kind fade/chip? There was a car at Golden Gardens that had its painted and it had chipped really bad! I have had mine painted for probably over 6 months, and they are painted on the inside of the lenses. I have had no chipping or peeling problems with 55watt bulbs and stained glass paint. keep in mind the lenses will burn your hand if I have been driving around with them on so they get HOT!

datzenmike Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Painted high beams will just reduce the light and change the color. Mercedes fog lamps are just that, they are for fog and have a totally different beam pattern. Just so you know, painting them yellow won't make them work in fog. Quote Link to comment

Just so you know, painting them yellow won't make them work in fog. my yellow inners are not high beams :D they are aftermarket fog lights like you would bolt to your bumper that I just painted yellow. None the less they have a fog light beam pattern but in their location they are just for looks. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 ya, but they sure look good :lol: yeah plus for $5-$6 a can of the stuff, it can go a long way in making lights yellow compared to more $ for the Merc lights. Quote Link to comment

I'm not a big fan of the yellow instead of high beam set ups but to each their own but I'm interested in what year mercs have the lights? Quote Link to comment

If you're not a fan of them why would you be interested in knowing what year they come off? Your question just doesn't make sense?! :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment

Your question just doesn't make sense?! :blink: :blink: He is a business man. I bet he would like to know since there is high demand for them. But honestly if you go to the junkers, you just see them and pull them off the car... You don't really need to know the make and model since any car could have it swapped or stock... Or just search fog Mercedes on ebay and they pop up. In other words you have to know were to look!!!! Not trying to be a dick or nothing... Quote Link to comment

Yeah, figured some one would just drop me a year or model range. Didn't know if there was only a certain year(s) that used the same size. Anyways, I thought i'd keep an eye out for them since we get some strange stuff down here and from time to time the JY guys have no clue what things are worth if they are obscure enough. "Looks like you got some head lights, $10" something like that :lol: Quote Link to comment

I need to invest in a bigger tool chest.... <_< Yeah, I had a EI dizzy once and the guy asked if that was off a Z and I said no so he was like, oh ok $30. :D They got a faint idea of what to charge more money for if they don't know exactly what it is. Did it come off something expensive or really desirable? Charge more money for it. Speaking of bigger tool chests... friend managed to find a 200SX ECU in his chest when he got home. :rolleyes: I think a JY i've been to actually weighs you in and out. :P Quote Link to comment
