You'll want to sand down the texture on that area of the lens, so the paint sticks... And maybe use some masking tape to protect the inside of the lens while sanding
Also, before you put masking tape on the chrome reflectors, make sure to stick it to your jeans or touch it with your fingers first. Otherwise it will be too sticky and can take off some of the chrome..

thanks again guys. I just ordered the smoked turn signals for the front and rear, tail lights and rims will be done soon enough. This mod is really going to set everything off!

actually theres low stick tape out there that dosent have as much adhesive on em as regular tape i guess you can say and you can also put the tape on your blue jeans and thatll take some of the adhesive off to so its not as strong

^^^ i just used blue painters tape, and put it on my fingers a little bit so it wouldnt be as sticky, but i had ZERO issues with it pulling the chrome off. i also taped them off before i started scuffing, so i wouldnt scuff the "good" chrome. i htink i also did like three coats of paint, no clear coat, but if i were to do it again, i might use a clear.

These have popped up on ebay again recently. If you don't want to go through with doing the full whistler mod. These appear to be the semi whistlered headlights that were available a few years ago.

still like the whistler ones better. Hopefully I dont screw my headlights up, but if I do, i'll just buy a new set. 6LE is starting to sell them.
