terryk2003 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 alright...i wanted the black out headlights, but they're pretty expensive...someone on clubgp posted an alternative, which i kinda like...just wondering which you guys like better!? Painted Stock Headlights with Black Corners: Black Out Headlights & Corners: Quote
stevegasm Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Painted stockers is my vote. If you get blacked out headlights, be prepared to get HIDs as well. Quote
Turbo231 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 You need option 3...none of the above. Quote
slick Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 You need option 3...none of the above. Werd. Add a Neither option. Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Painted stockers. A: Because it's probably cheaper B: After market headlights blow dick for fit and finish. Quote
runt Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 I think it looks good on that Silver car. (So, ergo, it would look good on mine.) BUT...you have a dark colored car. I don't think that it would look as good on yours, and I don't even think you'd see it as well. It does look kinda cool though. And fuck those eBay headlights. They are JUNK! Start by unplugging your DRL's (which you'll still retain the auto lights at night.) and after that get some clear corners. Quote

digitaloutsider Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 God knows why GM made the headlights the DRL's on the Grand Prix. SO stupid. At least they got the right idea on the Regal. Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Painted. Those other one looks cheap Quote
pwmin Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 i know a couple people w/ the blacked out ones and i like them okay. they do have problems w/ water so you have to silicone them up. dont like the painted stockers at all. maybe you could tear them apart like the cobalt guys and paint the inside?

97loudcut Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Leave them how they are with maybe some clear corners. Quote
Euro Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 I like the painted stock lights.....btw....how do you disable the DRL's? My lights are on ALL the time, fogs, corners, headlights, taillights... Quote

My lights are on ALL the time, fogs, corners, headlights, taillights... take that cover off the drivers side of the dash (open the door, and its right there on the end)...there is a heat sink with a black plug...unplug that...that will disable DRL's...BUT, ALL of your lights shouldnt be on...just the headlights...the other lights will only be on if its dark or rainy or if you have something covering the sensor on your dash...

DiscoStudd Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Tell me that's a photochop! You didn't seriously swap on an SE front bumper, did you??? Quote
terryk2003 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 Tell me that's a photochop! You didn't seriously swap on an SE front bumper, did you??? what!?...you don't like it!?... Quote
Euro Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Tell me that's a photochop! You didn't seriously swap on an SE front bumper, did you??? he also got rid of his HUD and 3 gauge pillar pod Quote
runt Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Yeah, I finally unplugged that switch as well. But ALL of your lights are on, Matt? I would check and make sure that your sensor on the dash isn't covered up (might sound like a dumb thing) or even make sure there isn't dirt in it thats making them stay on. I could imagine someone putting something over the sensor to make sure they are always on. I know in Pennsylvania if it's raining or your in construction your headlights HAVE to be on. Many people are lazy and think DRL's are enough but you can get pulled over for that. Maybe someone didn't want to take that chance? Like Terry said...once you unplug that plug from the side of the dash, your DRL's will be shut off, but your Auto lights at night will still come on. Quote
Euro Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 yeah, I'll go out and see what I can find. thanks guys! Quote
Euro Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 take that cover off the drivers side of the dash (open the door, and its right there on the end)...there is a resister looking thing with a black plug...unplug that...that will disable DRL's. so, I took off that cover, and theres a plug right there. That black plug? It looks like its the only thing that connects to the headlight switch. Quote

runt Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Mine sure didn't look like a resistor. It was just a black plug in that heatsink. Am I susposed to add something? Quote

Schudini Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 What about painting your headlights body color? Nobody mentioned that yet. Quote
