Lightbulb OZ Headlight mod with a FLARE!

Here's my project from last night. Painted Headlights.

Because I have the RRM Gunmetal Tails, I decided to not do black but paint the headlight housing gunmetal. Oh yeah, I tinted the parking lights so they look like eyes :d

Please share your comments! This is the left one on the car.

Please share comments! I wanted my headlight painting job to be unique heh

Paint was from wallmart. Its "dupli-color" Truck, Van& SUV paint. Gunmetal is the color.

The lights look SICK in person! Match my tails and grille. Color is a little off from the car but I wasn't trying to color match the color of the car.

The tinting is lighter in person than the pics show. The blinkers shine through pretty well. if i have a problem with it, I'll get super-bright bulbs.
