i was thinking the same thing though, maybe a few more coats. it would get rid of the light and dark spots in it

I know, but the spots aren't really as noticeable in person, they show up more in the pics. But yea now i will pobably repaint it again in a month or so when it warms up better.. Maybe ill just go over it with actual blue paint with a gun lol

you can prob buy a cheap compressor and just get a gun. itll be worth it

i agree with the gun, in your video you can see all the imperfections, with an actual spray gun and real paint, it'll settle better and not be as noticeable where as the spray paint doesn't settle as well after being sprayed.

Thanks man, and thats what i was thinking ^ idk how they will fit tho cause i cut the old ones to fit and i think there will be extra gap with oem ones. But im getting blackhoused headlights next.

um as long as you have the outer square on the ends you will be find, the middle piece is cut out. but ill look today, you may not even need the other side actually. I think they mount on top only

i think he may have meant tinted headlights, they do lower vision

no i have black housed....because the whole inside isn't chromed or reflective anymore, the light output will decrease at least a little....

are those what you're looking at? I don't like how white they are, you'd almost be better off with covers and taking them off at night.

those are mine and they're basically all black as you can see, that's why the output is lower.

One thing with yours is there's no reflector, and it's against the law to not have a reflector within the front side of your car, so they're probably not DOT approved unless you have a reflector somewhere or i'm just missing the one on the headlight, just something to keep in mind.

Yea those are pretty much it, except they have the orange reflector or the sides. sucks your headlights are 200 when mine are 75 haha
