Default finally did the whistler mod..

Well, after over a year of having foggy/cracked lenses, and not having the ***** to pull apart new headlights.. I finally did the whistler mod..
Dirty car FTMFL though..


Before...


After..






Figured I would throw some paint on the bumper support while I was at it..

not bad.. just take your time masking everything off. worse part is probably removing the old RTV/sealant from the lights.. but thats not too bad. On spots where the paint came under the tape a little, i used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean it up. just be careful because if you touch any good paint it can lighten it..

thanks guys! i really like how it compliments the 6LE grille and the black on my wheels.. I was thinking about the corners, I'm just afraid that it'll have an overall darker look than what im looking for..
