The amber pieces were carefully smoked with a special paint mixture so it still blinks amber when on. The right headlight has the piece inserted so you can see the difference:

real black type r's with black headlights in japan
Reminds me a bit of this.
Yeah, depends on the car... the black Type R's look great... BUT, every time I see a C6 Vette, I think "Would an NSX look too much like a C6 with body colored headlight housing?"
So in the cars that look like cars class, would the C6 then become to the NSX, what Jaguar is to Aston Martin? Like, almost looks like an Aston Martin but not quite there....nomatter how sexy some of the Jags are now....still not quite there....
C6 would say after seeing an '02+ NSX with body colored headlamp housings "Ohhhh maaaaaan, they look better like that than we do... man...we're not quite there.."
I think those black 02+ headlights looks real good on a black NSX.
Looks good on the black NSX and only the black NSX haha :wink:
would be nice if it wasnt a core swap job. I take headlamps apart all the time, but for some reason I am scared this one time... i will mess it up. But oh wait.. I have a heatgun now.. no longer have to put them in the over and wait for the adhesive to get soft.... HMMMMMMMMMMMM...............

looks pretty slick. agreed with others that either black or white (for white cars) looks oem... this mod can look tacky easily.

fully blacked out 02+ headlights with smoked turnsignal. It looks so fantastic and perfect on the red NSX! I have not realy liked the oem silver paint, in fact the old style pop up head light front was a bit nicer to me, but yet with the black ones, I like the facelift freont alot more than the 1991 front

Very nicely done!
We now offer a real carbon fiber option for those who want something truly unique. We would need your headlights to be sent in for the process so please contact us for details.

Anyone try tinting it? How long does a tinted headlight last before it starts bubbling? Is there a specific brand/type of tint which anyone recommends?
There are a couple ways to tint headlights (smoke) them and if done properly it should last a very long time.
All depends on the owner, if they want it reversible, how dark, reason for smoking them, etc.
I know we've done at least 10 sets over the years for various owners. Keep in mind the smoke process can be done internally or externally for obvious benefits/negatives each way.

I was thinking about tkign a set I have and removing the plastic pieces to black them out. Is this easy or difficult?
Hi Dan,
All of his pricing is on his website: http://clearcorners.com/products/acura/nsx1/
It may seem pricey, but the quality is amazing.

Thanks! Mike did a great job. OEM quality. The LED turn signals and driving lights are pretty sweet, too.
