Done YET?

There should be a live feed of you doing this so we can get instant results... just sayin.

You should be just about ready to reinstall, right?

I like that idea...

Progress so far:

-Headlights separated and main part painted
-Main hole cut for projector


Need to widen the hole a bit more, but I'm done for tonight. Will try to knock out most of what's left tomorrow.



FYI I left the small reflectors chrome.....that's just masking tape over them. Will be painting main reflectors, though, once I'm done near the end.

Good progress Matt

 

[mblouir]

The headlights were easier to take apart since this is the 2nd time I've done it....but they were still a b!tch.

 

[Carolinaboy]

Are they brand new lights?

 

[mblouir]

Yep brand new from eBay. They are knock-offs, but are just as good (if not better) that my own stock headlights. Since they are knock-offs the interior was held together with Philips screws as opposed to Torx. Win!

Also have clear reflectors, which I may or may not paint. Haven't decided yet.

Paint Em' I don't like the clear reflectors that much, just my opinion
