Put new headlights in, new head light motor gear and touched up the shrouds, yeah I could have picked up a headlight restoration kit. But I decided **** it, I picked these new ones up for 20$ What do you guys think?

Did you paint the black plastic piece around the headlight too? It looks good

What are you using to keep the motors sealed?

Popped the end cap off, pulled out stripped old gear, cleaned out old grease, put new gear in, new grease, thin bead of super glue on the tabs with a thin bead of silicone to keep water out.

Yes I did, I used textured Metallic Black I had laying around. It looks good.

kind of off topic but i see your ram air gasket is sagging a bit. that can easily be fixed by getting the 3m double sided tape at autozone and applying it between the gasket and the airbox. thats how i fixed my box when i got it 2 years ago and it's still holding. the lights look good.

Funny you mentioned that, that was whats on tomorrows agenda
