Color Matched HL MOD (The Right Way)

I finally got my headlight fixed from when I was doing the headlight mod and my lenses melted. I now have the color matched headlight mod complete!!!

BTW - I changed the design of the paint so as soon as I get the pics up tell me what you think. (Pics will be up in about 20-30 minutes)

It looks good. I assume that you put pic #4 on there as a ref to the chrome turn signal area that is now fully painted? How do the turn signals/parking lamps do at night now that there is no relflectivity? Think you can post a pic of the headlights with only the parking lamps on at night (kinda like pics 1,2,&3)?

yes, pic 4 is a reference to the chrome turn signal area and also to show how i messed up my first go around while doing this mod. I got a new headlight and painted it so now I dont have a melted lenses.

looks good.
i have mine apart, have paint on order, and soon will have the bulbs ordered and the side marker design finished.

i think it is worth it to do. people outside of this board may never notice it...but still awesome job
