Anyone tried to put the SE (black headlights) into a standard NB2?
Will they fit?

I love the SE Headlights! Just thought I'd ask to see if there were any peoples out there.

Benny did it after Biggles game him an excuse to buy some new headlights... :shock:

Yeah, and they look good too!

They fit perfectly, except the plugs on the lights are different, however, it's nothing a few spade connectors couldn't fix.

Bit exxy though at around $500 EACH! :shock:

Now I just need some black taillights.
Anyone know where you can get black tail lights for an NB?

I've been toying with the idea for a little while, but not sure how the black headlights will look on the black car, maybe too much black. Still it is under consideration.

I'm wondering myself what black headlights on a supreme blue might look like... Although with my headlight bezels it probably wouldnt be as good and I dont really wanna throw them out cause I like them too!


THAT would make me buy a black car!

Well before the SE/MSM was released there was an instruction on the big forum on how to pull apart the regular lights and paint the chrome surrounds - same as the SE. Looks a bit scary though, you need to bake them in the oven the soften the glue. Also best to use a matt finish paint rather then gloss or else it looks a bit odd.
