I was also going to do this over the past couple of days since I opened it up and cleared out the turn signal. But then realized there is too much involved to mask out the shiet and then paint it.

OH Sorry bro, I forgot that you werent done with your project. I will say that PoLo is the guy who told me and gave me advise on this project. wait Until he is done with his. Its gonna be pretty sweet.

Its pretty easy to to do, once you open the headlights, unscrew the big plasic piece from inside, buy some flat black spray paint and lightly paint the plastic, take your time doing it, then take the actual headlight and cover the metal rings around the lights with masking tape. TAKE YOUR TIME DOING THIS, once you completely covered eveything that paint shouldnt get on paint again the same way as with the plastuc piece, Light Layers! once your done put everything back together again and your done. Definatly makes your car look more agressive

it's okay man, i'm glad you got it done. congrats....i'm glad you're able to produce a picture cause i sure as hell can't. at least now i know what it'll look like and damn, i can't wait. but good job. looks cleeeeeeeean.
what did you do to seal the housing.
now i'm stuck on one part....i'm undecided as to whether i should go for body color in the housing or glossy black. glossy black will look aggresive where as body colored will give it a clean look.
post more pics...=)

that looks really good, where did you get the frosted plexi glass from? If I knew about them I would have installed them.
And yeah, Ive got like 4 extra bedroom suits in my garage. Anyone looking for a new one?

They look real nice. I just have a general question. Do you think that over time the paint would peel or something because of the heat? I'm not sure of the answer that's why I'm asking.

man, that looks so nice but they do grab lots of attention. If only no one would jack my lights. stupid nyc.
One question. Are they legal because what if you get into an accident and the insurance company argues that.
