I have a practically new set of lights if anyone is interested.

 

Sorry to break it to you,but the headlight housings look best just the way they are. I've seen them painted, and they look like ***, IMO, never mind the resealing problems you are likely to have by messing with them.

 

id like to see more pics if anyone has them... doesnt the foose or something come like that? and the original S197 concept? hmmm

 

its good to be a trained professional. no fear to make custom mods. you need the lens to keep the bulb dry or it will break when it gets rained on when the lights are on. temp change shock.

because then the bulbs are in direct contact to dirt and other crap

a good way to burn out the bulbs or even start a small fire

 

Here's one post I found a while back on how to paint the headlight buckets: go to www.mustangforums.com/m_3654751/tm.htm and scroll down to scheetz's post (post #14) of the thread. They are sealed back up when the painting is done.

I had contacted CDC about making open headlight buckets and they said they would let me know if they go into production, they said they are getting a lot of demand for them!

Those look pretty good, how close of a match is it?

 

If you can, post a couple pics after you install them. I'm interested in seeing how they look.
