oh ****...hope i didnt touch the inside of the lens

how long did it take for the finger prints to turn brown?

yeah i'll be making a similar one when i do my tails. it wont be as in depth tho as tails r a lot less complicated. but since i will be masking off my reverse light i figure why not snap a couple of pics of how i'm gonna do it.

i have Luminitic PlasmaGlow [eBay] in my lowbeams:

side by side the PlasmaGlow 'hyper white' $25 and the Silverstars $15 look about the same, behind the wheel, just a color variance i think :]

theres my .02 ;]

i've been wanting to do this for quite a while now.... and i've got all the materials needed.. except I'm not sure if the ***** I have are big enough for the job, lol. It's gonna be hard for me to do this to a set of lights i just bought. But on the plus side, I'll use my old driver's side as a guinea pig...

dude, i bought a set of silverstars and then maybe a month or two later put in HIDs. silverstars are $50+ arent they? you can get an HID kit for that from ddm tuning.. get 4300 or 5000k, should be completely white with no blue.
edit: could be wrong about the silverstars, mine were high beams though.
