#1: Quick question about headlights Author: Jorded94, Location: Conwy, North WalesPosted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:10 pm ---- Hi, I'm quite new to 206's I've had a 2.0 quicksilver hdi for just over a month now and done a few little bits to it (just going for the subtle look) like debadged boot, wind deflectors, led bulbs, remove the door pillar stickers. I've seen 206's with black headlights, I'm just wondering whether these have been painted or made like this? And do they have a specific name? Cheers

I think they call it masking as all you do is spray part of the headlight black

Welcome to the forum!
They're called 'masked headlights'.
people have split the lenses away and removed the chrome inserts and sprayed them.
They are quite sort after as splitting them is a pain in the back side, not to mention half of them suffer from condensation issues due not being re-sealed correctly.

#5: Re: Quick question about headlights Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 4:33 pm ---- 100% legal, just remember it's the chrome insert that is sprayed, nothing else.

IIRC the original Valeo ones came in black, blue and gold.
#8: Re: Quick question about headlights Author: Jorded94, Location: Conwy, North WalesPosted: Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:22 pm ---- That's different! Never seen anyone cc them before, with my car being silver it would probably be pointless. If I can get hold of some black ones I'll be happy
#9: Re: Quick question about headlights Author: MrWhite, Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 4:09 pm ---- I'd be willing to pay and supply my own Lights to have someone do the job for me, That live up this way if you know anyone Macca
