I have an 01 tiburon and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can by black head lights or how I would go about painting the inside of my head lights black.

First buy a set of these from me: http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtop...20&start=20

Then follow these directions to install them, but do your own wiring and LEDs instead: http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtop...ngel+eyes\

While you're doing the Angel eyes, you can do the painting.

i think hes wanting to paint the housings, not tint the lights..

the tiburon has projectors, so painting the housing is not going to affect the lighting at all.

also, when done right, the housings will look OEM.

it does not dim the lights. Mine are plenty bright. Just don't do the reflector on the back of the high beams. Stick with the bezels.

painted bezels effect your brightness eh? GEEZ, i better get spotlights then cause the concrete retaining wall behind the dumpster in this picture is 82.5 yards away from where i took this picture. yeah, i took a rangefinder and ranged it. 8k HIDS w/ 55w hyperwhite PIAA bulbs in the brights.
