Colormatched headlights are almost done I bought a set of broken halos/projectors at a great price. I decided to try a little project and it turned out to be a lot more than I expected. They are 95% complete, only needing to dry completely and install the HID bulbs. To do this project, I baked them one-by-one in the oven at 170* for 8-10 minutes, pried them open with a flathead screwdriver and got to work. Lots of sanding, priming and globby adhesive later.....:

did these a while back to the stockers, got the idea from BuffaloSS and had another member helpin me out on the proscess.. my lenses were all scratched up so i figured there is no real loss if i **** it up lol
my only problem is i left the inside a little foggy, shuda cleaned the inside of the lense with something else.. i did get them custom painted and lightly tinted on the outer lense to cover up my mistakes lol
hehehe
