the head lights are looking great bro, the only thing that i would do to top off your front end, is paint your mesh black. i think it would help your head lights stand out more and complete that look. just my .02 and like you said it is personal taste. GREAT JOB! to think that i almost bought those sports headlights from creative sports last week! thanks a lot, maybe i'll do mine soon.

this may be a silly question, but did you preheat the oven to 275, or did you stick them in when you turned it on?

Heh, thanks guys, so far everyone has pretty much liked them.


JWERNER, yes I preheated to 275, and then put them in there.

Majestic, you know i'd help a local bro out!! Just let me know.

Assassin(Hellacious), yah, long time no see dude. I just been relaxing lately, keeping quiet, minding my business and such. Doing my best to stay out of trouble, LOL. Hit me up on AIM sometime or PM me. Hearing I got the hottest Lancer around makes me feel good about what I have come to so far, and only encourages me to do more!

OZ_03, Light output isn't really noticeable. Headlights still look good. You, being an everyday driver MIGHT notice a change, but someone else wouldnt even be able to tell. What solves the light output problem is a simple HID kit, which is why I painted my headlights to begin with(with high temp paint of course).

Hey Zapco--Beautiful car by the way and the headlights look like the shiznit
Hey I was just wondering, do you have to remove the front bumper to take out the headlights or not?? Also if someone was to send you their headlights would you paint them up just like you have yours for a small fee???


Just a few questions

Adam

Thanks adam. No, I unbolted 3 bolts, pulled right out, fits nice and snug. If someone sends me the lights, yes, I will paint them anyway they like! Thanks again Adam, glad you like!
