Painted Headlights and Halos DONE.

Newest mod checked of the list. Body color painted lights, added halos and leds behind the factory reflector. Wanted to keep it simple and keep some of the chrome within the headlight.

Halos are killer bright! I love it.

I have always had a second mode of transportation whether it was my bike or my Spec-V. I don't have either one now, so just had to time it right. I also had the front bumper reshot to fix some curb scrapes and fill the license holes from the previous owner. 2 birds 1 stone

And when all I do is work on cars all day already, it's hard to get motivated to work on my own whip. It's like it's not a hobby for me, it's my livelihood LOL.

haha when it's a full time job like mine it's fun but then you don't make time for your own stuff, like me. lol But the perks are I get to sometimes try things on other cars before doing it to mine.

Looks good keep up the good work. I was curious if you or anyone with painted headlights have had any condensation issues? I know most put extra sealant to prevent it but curious how its holding up ?

Zero Issues, but the funny thing is the headlight isn't completely sealed. There's openings on the backside of the headlight

Here's the same thing in black basically. Made these for someone a few months back and sold them. I love Morimoto's stuff.

now that is what I'm talking about! that white looks so sexyand I love the fact that not many people have actually done this in a white color. I planned on doing this since my max is white I just won't be adding the halo lights. since we are on the subject of headlights I did have a question: on the photo that I have attached what is the bulb number that fits into the light that is circled and what are thesecond lights called? they have never lit up and I figured maybe the bulbs were burnt out.

In Canada those are the daytime running lights. They turn on once the car is turned on and only shut off onces the low beams are on.. Once the low beam is on and you pul the stalk, they are the high beams.. In the US, I believe they are only high beams. The bulb size is 9005
