Default Headlight Cover?

I was looking at my car today and got more and more annoyed at the litte orange stripe under the headlight. I don't want to buy a completely new headlight because I do like the rest of how the light looks, but I was wonder if they made some sort of cover that I could put over the orange area. Possibly different designes or something like that curve around the bulb that BMW's do or soemthing. Or is it something that I'll have to do myself? Thanks

Yeah those do look nice, but as I said earlier I don't want to buy new headlights. I'm going to check out that website now thanks for the info.

Edit: Also, did you mean .net? The I tried .org and .com and they brought me nowhere. the .net link brought me to a photobucket site with a lot of cars. If that was the one you mentioned there weer no Accords.

yeah, I guess it is .net

I've only looked at the ones for my tC, but I'd imagine that you could look up vinyl overlays for the accord.

I do search around but all I ever find is the eyelid that goes over the top of the headlight. I want something that goes over the bottom. Maybe I have to buy a sheet of vinyl and do it myself.

Or you can buy VHT Nite Shades and spray tint it. I'm starting a tail light tint project, then I'm putting overlays over the tinted lights.

Yeah, just tape off the part of the headlights you dont want NiteShade'd and spray it over the amber parts.

Well I talked to a friend of mine about this, but we were both kind of iffy on putting my headlight in an oven, so instead we covered the orange stripe with black electrical tape and I must say it doesn't look bad at all lool

It does the job quite well. Looks nice when I turn it on, and nice when in the sunlight as long as you aren't inspecting it like crazy. I'll post pics once I get a chance.
