Yeah, so it's late...I can't sleep...guess I'll work on my box a bit. Decided to clear the headlights .. I used the baking method and man talk about easy!! And since I did have to take some of the box apart....might as well powder coat something else while I'm at it...:D Here are a couple of pics so far...will have it all put back together in about 45 minutes.

The paint on the inside of the fenders, core support, etc, are the worst I've ever seen. It's like they barely got hit with the paint. Is it just mine or are they all like that?

Considering it's almost 11:30pm, I had to stick with the stock amber bulbs for now. LOL!

The only piece I coated tonight was the hood latch. I did it in the same reflective chrome I used under the hood. I know it isn't much but I figure if I'm going to start attending shows with this thing, every little bit helps.

The $5 is just to give you an idea of how reflective the powder is.

Back together...now I've just got to get rid of those amber bulbs!! :rolleyes:

baked them...

I say go with chrome bulbs...I think thats what I will go with...especially now that I have color matched my projectors onnat TCM box...the chrome will make it flow better. but only if they have chrome that lights white, not that amber crap...

Thanks! I baked them in the oven until the sealer got soft them pulled them apart. Once I had them opened I just took out one little screw that removed the turn signal piece...then I just popped out the piece of orange plastic Toyota puts in there. Once I change bulbs it should look even better.

Here is the piece I took out...
