#1: Painting headlights... Author: timolevs, Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:16 am ---- Hi guys
I saw a how-to for this but cant find it again now!
Anybody have the link to painting the chrome of their headlights black
Also, anybody have images of what this looks like on a black 206?
thanks!!

#4: Re: Painting headlights... Author: timolevs, Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:28 am ---- What are the legalities of spraying this chrome?

It's only the chrome surround you spray and not the reflector.

Cheers mate, think i'd rather do it myself than spend £80 though!
I'm welling to pay 80 GBP if they have LHD ones,as the black housing looks great
I'm tempted to buy for the same reason as the housing does look great and to save me some DIY hassle? Only downside is I'd have to convert back to H4.
Is it not possible to get them converted to LHD Timon? Or is it more money than its worth?

FK are pretty decent with their customer service Timon. When I got my rears from them it was the German website, had a slight issue with the delivery, got a phone call from Germany and was offered a 100% refund plus keep the lights. Can't fault the Germans for looking after customers.
I'm sure if you contact Germany direct they will be able to advise if they do them for the LHD market. www.fk-shop.de/en/Ligh...c1d9783e5e (Just go to questions tab for their email contact)

That's what I was thinking too as in the pictures you can see it says DEPO near where the indicators are. As far as I know, DEPO only make LHD front lights. Such a shame too as i'm after a pair.

I've emailed them to get a definate answer but like you I'm sure they only make LHD, I'll post back once I've heard from them and let you all know.

#16: Re: Painting headlights... Author: AWK-53, Location: OxfordshirePosted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:11 am ---- £80 doesn't seem too bad - wish I'd known they were available sooner as melted one of my lights in the oven lol
Learn't from my mistake and the second one was easy
#17: Re: Painting headlights... Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:29 am ---- There LHD only mate so no good for us Brits
