How to get AE86 Zenki Parkers/headlights look Kouki Sat, 03 September 2005 07:18 Go to next message
What you need: Masking Tape
Acrylic Black Paint (Pressure Pack)
Wax and Grease Remover

Step 1: Mask the parkers like this

Step 2: Wipe the unmasked area where your going to paint with Wax/Grease Remover

Step 3: Apply the paint to the unmasked area of the parkers

Step 4: Mask up the headlights leaving the tops and bottoms
NOTE: In this picture i used primer to see if it would work on glass. Not a good idea. It just peels off. Just wipe Wax/Grease remover over the areas you need to paint then just spray straight on.

Step 5: Apply the paint on the headlights

Alot cheaper than getting the actual Kouki parkers and Eyebrows.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't you use high temperature paint as it may peel from the heat off the lens?

Good write up! Simple, easy and affordable...

Lenses dont get that hot. Sure they get hot, but not the temps where paint will peel.
HTP is made for exhausts and brakes, where it gets VERY hot, not just warm.

Are they an actual panel? screwed onto the tops of the headlights. Do they have the brackets on the sides for the foglights?

Well done Craig... it's better than what i had before i did it properly... GO ELECTRICAL TAPE

this looks much neater...

but nothing tops the way it should be Razz

easiest way to check if its a JDM headlight is if there is a metal cap inside the headlight infront of where the globe goes... nothing there = jdm... cap there = aus-spec

Not necessarily, my AuDM headlights do not have a glare filter infront of the globe. They are definately AuDM headlights as well, as they do not have the foglight brackets, nor the JDM grill brackets.
