HOW TO: DIY Black Housing Headlights for $4 on your Civic

We tried blacking out our Civic’s headlights for just $4 using a spray can — and Remi had no idea.

This DIY headlight mod involved baking the lights in the oven, carefully disassembling them, and hoping we didn’t completely ruin a perfectly working set of headlights. The goal? That clean black housing look without dropping $160 on aftermarket ones.

Watch the full process, the step-by-step how-to, and Remi’s honest reaction when we revealed the surprise.

🎯 Would you try this yourself? Or is this mod too risky?
