I'd love to see some pics.
okay, here are some pics of my driving light conversion completed. i would like to buy a brighter bulb for the turn signal, right now its some piece of crap apc 'super white' lol. stay away from apc, they are crap and fade in a week.
here are the turn signals. gonna get some piaas to go all the way around and get rid of any amber color. overall, i am very satisfied with how easy it is to paint the headlights. it has been rains cats, dogs, squirrels, bears, and rats and i dont have any leakage or fogging in my headlights. good luck with your headlights Ryan, im me on how it goes

Did you use a regular bulb or an LED one for the driving light?
Im all done with teh painted they are back on my car and look great just put each headlight in at 260 for 8 mins and they came right apart. The only problem I had was getting the painted part mack into the lens seemed harder than it should have been probably another way to do it Im sure. As for the wireing it is really easy all you do is goto walmart or something liek that and pick up some blue conectors(holes on each side) cut the wires to the blinkers cut the wires to the parking lights and just switch them then I used electrical tape afterwords. I dont have LED's in mine I know pickleknock does on his but I havnt had any problems. I will second the stay away from APC, if you cant affor dpiaas or something good like that then wait cause you will waste your money.
yeah, apc is latin for 'sucks ***' i put LEDs in mine because i was afraid that the housing would get too hot. but apperently it doesnt so far. i cant wait to see your headlights on saturday ryan... ill bet they look damn good on your yellow. i think they look good on any color. but yeah, the wiring is very easy, just a simple switch one with the other
wicked awesome.
thanks guys. I'm going to switch the wires for the turnsignals but instead of hooking up the wiring from the driving lights, i think I'm going to run a switch for them instead for direct 12v power.
I went looking for some 1156 LED hyper whites tonight but had NO luck what so ever. I think I might just break down and buy some off ebay, as all the ones I was finding around here were APC anyway.
