lets see a pic of your headlights back on the car. I am interested in getting rid of the hideous yellow turn signals... is it something a beginner can do?

looks amazing, great job. Do you know if painting the housing of the taillights is the same process as the headlight? It seems like it would be.... It seems like you can achieve the Ralliart look without spending the $300 or whatever for it. Thanks for the post

You cannot bake the tails. You have to dremel them to get them apart and it is a pita. Plus with the pink lenses it looks like crap with them blacked out like ralliarts...

yeah i just blacked the outsides of em. i think it would look good with the ralliarts on there..but the tailights was one of my first mods..i couldnt stand that stupid pink tint. dunno why they even did that.

Plan on getting the MR driver's side fog light mesh? It looks kinda bad having mesh on the passenger side and just a gaping hole on the driver's side...

I'd like to see better pics of the headlights, specifically the amber lamps to see what that painting behind it did.
