My little project im working on

SO i had my stock headlights sitting around since i got the JDM ones, So i figured why not try to paint them myself, There are plenty of how-tos and i have done this twice before..

I want to thank steve for helping me take them apart and i want to thanks phil for helping me glue them back on..

Im really hopeing the seal on these are ok because if they are im gonna be selling my JDM ones, I just cant get use to the beam pattern..

Im working on the other one as we speak

nice work man. I did mine with a abuddy and they came out perfect. Why pay out the *** when you can do it yourself for under 15 bucks.

Looks great! I have been toying with the idea myself, but matching the paint color as opposed to doing black.

Looks good!! I'm too scared to do it myself, but a buddy of mine not-only painted his Suby lights, but he cut em up and retrofitted projectors in, so I'll have him do it with me hopefully this summer.
