austin843 austin843 Poster Registered: 04/22/07 Posts: 255	Has anyone done it? I believe its called "blacked out" Or is is "cleared"........ You know, the process where you put your lights in an oven and make all the chrome black. Oh well, so im a n00b, big deal, but i would like some pictures. I have found DIYs for it and the finished product on older Civics, but no pictures to see a final product on our model year. _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gVoZGlguXk 2007 NBP Coupe Injen MR Cold Air Intake Comptech Short Shifter

austin843 austin843 Poster Registered: 04/22/07 Posts: 255	i found out that you cant really "black out" our lights unless you get projectors or something. all that chrome is to throw the light so clearing them is what i was referring to. however after seeing zachys projectors and cleaning the drool from my keyboard i may look into a retro fit. _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gVoZGlguXk 2007 NBP Coupe Injen MR Cold Air Intake Comptech Short Shifter
