BHLM orange side reflectors and orange turn signals????

i am getting ready to do the bhlm, and i noticed that some people have lights with no orange whatsoever. it seems they did this by removing the orage side reflectors in the lights and doing something to the turn signals. does anyone have any pics or tips on how to do the bhlm without having any of the orange stuff in the lights?

 

i still have them in there but i tinted both of them so they are black.

 

super clean. i gotta do this mod.

 

are those retrofitted HID's?

 

Just the light bulb in the is orange...all my reflectors are clear or smoked

 

yea they are. I JUST completed it last week.

 

nice man. i'll PM you with some questions i have about it...it looks real good. if i continued the conversation here i'd just be

 

yes sir...see my sig...there are also quite a few threads now on the FX-R retro if you search around...

OP, both are easily removed when you take the lights apart.

 

Wait... how do you get the clear reflector covers?

Or whats the process for smoking them?

 

buy the egay lights just for the clear parts!...no seriously, thats what you have to do now. FYI also, they fit slightly different, so you still have to mod them to fit better.

 

ohh pshhh. no thanks.

What about the ones on the sides, that are orange. can i paint those or put some VHT on them to make them black?

 

thats what i did.

 

Here's mine. We just painted everything and put it back together

 

^ are those eyelids painted on the INside of the lense?! if they are, your on to something!! forget all that crap on the outside, just paint the inside...way less expensive, and way more durable!

 

Nope... on the outside, and they have been on for about 4 years and not a ding on them.. Oh and there vinyl

 

Any tips for popping in the reflectors without scratching the paint?

 

push the clips from behind. You should be able to push those suckers w/o having to pry it from the front.

 

Truck looks awesome man. nice work.

 

That's how I removed the reflectors, but doesn't seem so easy putting them back in after I've painted the bezel. Almost temped to just remove the tabs and use a small amount of epoxy to secure them back in.

 

ohhhh, lol. I totally misread that. Yea, thats definitely not the way to reinstall them. I dont have any tricks for that. I just placed mine in gently and hoped for the best.
