Anyone done the blackeye mod to their car but colour coded them instead of doing them black? I was searching the net to reply to a post, but couldn't find any. I'm not fussed which Ford its on, but would be nice to see and then i can help out the member, and give others some inspiration (hopefully)

Am looking for non-blackeyes, like blueeyes/redeyes/greeneyes etc, there's loads of pics of them in black to look at, (as per 1st post), and none in different colours... but yes i agree, panther black mk3 mondy's with blackeyes is gorgeous.

trouble is the closer the colour is to black the more it may seem pointless to some people for example ink blue you wouldnt really see the difference unless close up but something like red or st200 blue that would be quite noticable

Performance blue (st220) now thats a nice colour... Emerald green... they'd look good and a lot less aggressive than black.

i was wondering how long until i would see this. i remember being at mondeo mania seeing the mk4's before release even then ithought it would be an easy job.

seems its about 4 years then as ive just seen um

not seen a mk4 with blackeyes... mmm tasty
 
#12 ·
When the mk2 was starting to get mods involved in the change from the mk1 alot of the south east lot started colour eyes on them. Seen juice green eyes and electric current red eyes too. Look ok on colourcoded cars. It's funny as I swapped between morrettes in matt black and the Astor eyes and preferred the Astor eyes. Never got on with morrettes.
I have a panther black mk3 and haven't done blackeyes as yet lol.

Thanks mate, pics good, the more the merrier!

Looking good mate, thanks for posting!

i think the general consensus on here will be black=tasty on black cars, i'm not sure about white eyes on white, but by all means, go for it (and post some pics here if you like!) what about maybe a dark grey (graphite?) that might look good on white...

sorry not seen any white/white's before, doing the bit below the lower front grille in black would look good on that mate... look a bit st

Thanking you kindly (on one of your other posts, as no thanks button here!)
 
#33 ·
i did amparo blue eyes on my medium steel blue zetec:


then put them on my silver ST
 
#34 ·
thanks for pics, look smart mate, bet you had same prob as me, cant really do silver eyes!!! and thanks on its way (on another post)
 
#35 ·
no worries - yeah silver eyes is code for standard


thinking different colour with the STs re-build

I'm going to experiment on mine. I've got 2 busted ish headlights I can use so Ive got one painted in black and then the other I'm going to use an enamel paint I have. It's not the right colour but its pretty close. I used it on my calipers, and behind the diffuser lens, you won't even be able to tell (hopefully). The only thing I'm concerned about is the indicator bulb and whether or not it'll show through the red
 
#37 · (Edited by Moderator)
leave the indicator diffusers in place, as i suggested, take the diffusers out, mask them off and replace, so as not to get paint on the silver indicator reflector, don't mask the indicator silver area behind the diffuser as the silver will come off with the masking tape!

see in this pic, the indicator area is still silver

I didn't even bother masking it off (well, couldn't anyway. Had no masking tape). I just sprayed behind it. I'm going to see how well you can see the indicator once the unit is in and working. If there isn't as much light output, then I'll get a set of high intensity LEDs for them and wire them up accordingly. That should give better light intensity. These lights won't be permanent as I want a set of those R8 style headlights.
 
#39 ·
i do and don't like them, nice idea, but imo f*cking ugly

Not those silly chrome ones but the black version, and I'll probably change the sidelights to red LEDs like I have now and shut them off when the main beams are on, as to avoid unwanted rozzer attention

Here we go. One of the NZFF boys took a leaf out of my book and tried them on his 1993 EB2 Falcon Fairmont
