Default Black Accessory Head and Taillights 2005 Coupe

Hello all,
What started as just getting my windows tinted to help with the blistering summers in the south has turned into a full makeover for my Accord.

I have a 05 coupe that is Sapphire Blue. Along with the above window tint, I refinished the slotted 5 spoke that come standard on the 6-speed cars to a deep black. I would like to change out my headlights and taillights with accessory units that have a black or dark design.

Anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

actually the best way is to put the headlights in the oven on low setting until the glue gets soft, pull them apart, and paint the insides (not the reflectors) black, put back in oven and gets them soft and put them back together.

The reason for this is most of the aftermarket headlights have poor quality reflectors in them and the light throw they produce is not as good as the factory units.

There are many many write-up on how to do the procedure I outlined above.

BTW - car is looking sweet, good job keep it clean.
