Added Black Headlights and Black Grill Today....

SoCalRT · 08-12-2006, 03:13 PM

This morning I added black headlights and a matte black grill (really my old T-Rex painted up). It totally changed the look of my Mag and completed my new theme front to back.

Looking good. How hard was the headlight swap?

It was real easy because I took off the front fascia to put in the grill. Even without taking off the fascia it would be pretty easy. Only 2-9mm bolts on each one, one above and one below the light near the center. You would need to push the fascia down slightly to get to the lower bolt, but make sure you protect the paint with something.

If you were to just do the headlights it should only take 15-20 minutes max to complete the job. I took me less than a hour to switch out everything.

I like the silver painted fog light bezels. I think it looks better. I think since your car is silver, a set of silver r/t headlights would look better. Wanna swap? Hey it was worth a try. But I still think the silver fog bezel look better with the black headlights. Just my 2 cents.

I actually won the black lights in a drawing on another forum. The timing was perfect for me.

I like the color matched bezels, but I may be biased on this one.

Where did you get your black grilles? How did you install? Did you do it yourself or did you have them put on? I have a set that i need to install and I am having a helluva hard time doing it. Any advice would help! Your car looks great!
