I am not sure on the paint, but I hear some mixed reviews on Sylvania SIlverstar Headlight bulbs. They make them in most sizes. I think the Honda low beam is 9006.
As far as doing that to your headlight. Make sure you know what you are doing. If you don't seal everything just right when you are putting htme back together, you could end up with nasty foggy headlights.
I think new lights are like 170 a piece from Honda. Not sure though. Someone chime in if I am wrong.

That is Dupli color. Nothing exotic. It is sold at places like parts america / kmart / autozone. It looks like he is using an engine enamel which will take hot temperatures.

I kinda like the way it looks - the head lights stand out from the rest of the assembly. But my thoughts are 1) it could hamper reflectivity and 2) it might be illegal. I've noticed in other Accords that the entire top channel lights up when the turn signals are on. You can see this from the front and the side. With this channel painted black, it will seriously cut down on the amount of light that is seen by other cars. That and removing the reflective side yellow marker might not be legal in some states. :dunno:

Ya my friend and i where talking about it. How will i seal the headlight back up after i paint it? I don't want water or the headlight to fog up inside. Do i need to use a special compound or something? I've seen a cupple imports at the gym with their sidemarkers takein out so it may be legal here in FL but ill find out. And is it hard to take the head light apart?
