My boring friday night mod!

So friday night at 8pm im so bored i decide to take my front bumper off pull out my headlights, bake em, and plastidip the housings and amber lenses!!! Finished up about 2:15am. Well worth it!! Also i painted my middle hood scoop black! The lights look sick since i pulled the fuse to my drls... Any feed back is great! Enjoy!!!

Baked them at 200d for 25mins. Lenses are not tinted. I have the projector lights so i lost no light at all...my hids are bright as they were before, and they are not on in any of the pics, thats the flash from my camera!
