JDM style headlights

Well, i finally got the courage to open my headlights back up after over 6 years just to paint the turn signal amber. I thought I was lucky the first time I opened them to have it turn out looking good. I used Tamiya TS-73 for the paint. Had a hard time having to get it to look not so cloudy. I think it turned out decent. Hope you enjoy.

Here's a view from a little further and yes the hood is wrapped. It's a seibon hood and it was faded and yellowing.

Good to see you colored the projectors RED... Not many ppl do this mod when blacking out their headlights...

I've done it a long time ago with an extra set of projectors I have, but never installed them.
