JDM black headlights and corner markers

[Natedogg1701]

does anyone know where i can find some black corner markers for my 03 pathy? I want clear ones with no amber inside, just a black interior surface, NOT chrome ones,i'm goinf for that blacked out look.

[Qxxx4]

i THINK jonathonprem was trying to sell a pair a while back and slickroger almost bought em

u cant get black headlights or else light wont reflect! there must be chrome inside. Duckman540i took his 03 qx4 lights apart and painted them a little made a really cool design but the prick never showed us the finished product.

Slickroger tinted his headlights and i think thats the best idea for a blacked out look

[Natedogg1701]

here try this link and see what im talkin about, i have this set. seehow the markers are darkened inside? i want that but without the amber insert on the side, i saw someones pathy nd they had em nd im goin nuts tryin 2 find em. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

He's got the JDM blacked out headlamps/corners; the headlamps do have reflectors but only the reflectors are chrome, the rest of the lamp is black (you can see them on my car in a different thread). I doubt, however, that you will be able to find blacked out corners without any orange in them at all. The DOT requires some orange on the corner lenses to indicate the front of the vehicle (I know, stupid), so I doubt any companies would manufacture and sell them illegally. The clear corners do not have any orange, but they use reflectors and even then you can get a ticket for using clear bulbs instead of orange bulbs.

I think the easiest solution is to modify your current corners. You can simply heat up the corners (either using the baking method or a heat gun) and pull the lens from the assembly. The orange portion of the lens should be a separate piece which you should be able to just pull off of the lens (the orange piece may be glued or something, so be careful).

Another solution would be to purchase clear corners, separate the lens from the blacked out set and the clear set and then just swap them (put the clear lenses on the blacked out assembly).

i may try that on my original factory ones 2 c how it comes out, but i know ive seen em like the headlights, where there is no amber reflector and the inside of the housng looks black, nd where i live ppl dont get hassled about the amber missing nd that stuff, the cops r cool 2 us as long as we dont give em a hardtime.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

These are a little closer to fully blacked out, there isn't any orange in the corners...

[Natedogg1701]

u have a link to that sight? i wanna c how much that set will cost me

ya i saw those when i was first lookin for headlights, not spenidn that tho, i got my set for like 140 delivered. but do you know of any compnay that makes angel eye projectors for the pathy?

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Nah, nobody makes projectors for the R50. I scoured the web for projectors for a long time and couldn't find anything even close, so I settled on the Anzo blacked out lamps/corners. The only real option to get projectors on an R50 is to retrofit some in the housing. Angel eyes is a whole different story, I doubt you'll be able to retrofit any angle eyes in the headlamp housing and make it look decent. A good source to find some projectors is TheRetroFitSource.com, they have a selection of projectors for retrofitting purposes.

[slickroger]

I have seen the headlights your looking for on ebay before, but with ebay you have to be patient things disappear and come back all the time. you can always tine them like I did.

Where did you get those grille inserts next to the fog lights? I Like.

[Axelpkt]

I don't remember, it was one of the first things I did to the truck when I got her. I need to find them again cuz I some how lost one of those fog light insert things and now I'm missing one.

as i thoight, that suks because i really wud like em, there is a nasty set made for the frontier, I was at one time considering custom fitting the fenders from a frontier so i cud buy theses headlights, but for now ill settle for jdm blacked out ones. but here check these out, pretty sikk. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Yeah, a lot of online retailers actually market those as fitting the Pathfinders. Of course, they don't look anything like the Pathfinder lights (especially since they're one piece) so I did some research and contacted the manufacturer to find out that these retailers were idiots and shouldn't be listing compatibility with R50's.

[Natedogg1701]

ya that really pissed me off, i was so excited to get those,then i took a good look nd was like....hey these will deff not fit. i wish some retailer wud make something like that 4 the pathys

Those look simply awesome and it would be awesome if they made pathy ones

[rydebynite]

man these things are niiiiiice. i guess in the event that someone t-bones me from the side i will be ordering some Frontier fenders lol

[JonathanPrem]

DONT BUY AFTERMARKET JDM BLACKED OUT HEADLIGHT!!!! They don't even shot straight. Your better off painting them yourself.

Next summer i'm Putting in projectors in my headlights if its possible(professionally offcourse)

[JonathanPrem]

Btw If you want Blacked out clear Corners Email me [email protected]

[Natedogg1701]

i bought jdm blacked out headlights and they shoot my headlight beams out exacxtly the same as my factory headlights. i justa got lucky i guess.

how did you get yur headlights and corners so dark? you use night shade or a ligit spray on tint that a paint shop does?

[slickroger]

I bought these and applied them myself http://cgi.ebay.ca/NISSAN-PATH...cac5e

[Natedogg1701]

funny thing is i have that kit, bought it about a month ago, but it loos like way 2 much of a pain in the a** 2 install, was it pretty easy or a pain in the a**?

[Pwnin O'Brien]

You could also try the same guy that tinted my tails to tint your headlights/corners. He does it at a pretty reasonable price and his work is quality. The place is called Jon's Tinted Tails (http://www.jonstintedtails.com) and he can tint them in a lot of different shades and even color match them to your factory paint (my tails are body-matched, here are some pics in this thread zerothread?id=451525).

[slickroger]

It was easy but I did my own tinting. The hard part is tinting around the corners of the light you may need a heat gun.

[Natedogg1701]

i figured i would, im the person who has rotten luck with that stuff, mechanical anything im fine, but something like that i'll screw up. lol ill just use a spray on tint for them, i have the jdm black set but i want them a little darker. and the grill you have, is that the billet grill combo from ebay and you just painted it?

[slickroger]

I didn't paint any grille i got it off of ebay but i bought a 5 pc set that i haven't seen on ebay for over a year now. There is a seller that stole a picture of my truck trying to sell a grille but that is not the grille i bought
