Yeah, so I decided I wasn't scared anymore and I put my headlights to bake, lol! They look a million times better in my opinion. Tell me what you think. Pics on the car will go up tomorrow, I have to let them set overnight to cool off so the moister wont build up in them from the heat.

IDK if my highbeams still work, they aren't on the car yet, but I really don't care, lol! I don't ever use them anyway. I turned them on once since I've had mycar, and that was to make sure the Xenon bulbs I put in worked, lol!
Thanks for the comments.

Yeah definatly look awsome. Planning this as a mod for mine when I get it. Definatly not gonna have very bright brights after painting the reflector. Its a shame the highs aren't projectors as well that would look sick. Wonder if someone will make a after market light like that.

Ohh I see now...*sidescroll*
you should use VHT niteshades for the turn signals, and take out the amber in the headlights, or VHT them too. Looks like the halo's from a first Gen would fit nicely too. I still have the ones from my old set...

Bluebatmobile has the front overlay for like $40, so I'm just going with that. I like the turn signals the way they are so I'm not changing them.
Thanks for the compliments though!
