Exclamation Night Shoot of my new headlight Setup!

Decided I wanted to paint my stock evo 9 MR headlights after seeing my friend do it to his STI. I was pretty nervous while doing it but they cameout 100% and 10 times more agressive looking in my opinion Enjoy

Before...


After





Quick night shoot :twisted:

So what did you do, exactly? Did you just paint or did you actually swap in better projectors? I ask because the angle + lights on of the "after" shot makes it harder to see (closer/angled shot might be better). Also, the night shots are why I'm wondering about new projectors.

Regardless, your WW IX looks nice!

I was worried for the first few days after my wife got hers, but once it realized that my Evo was alpha dog everything seems to be working out.

Ya sorry about the ambiguity here, we baked them and painted the housing completely flat black, the only change to my bulbs was not putting the city light bulbs back in Thanks for the positive feedback tho!

Yep had to do the whole bake in the oven and completely dismantle the headlights which made me very nervous but it was totally worth it
