much better..! me likey!!
Lights look good though.Looks very nice, definitely an upgrade.
yeah whats with ur front end fitment? assuming u did the 99-00 conversion and everything didnt fit as planned...?
well the lights look good anyways. i really wanna do this but too scurred to oven the suckers.

nah the fenders are the si blue..the back half is the color off the cruiser..and the front bumper..walmart paint..
..and yes..its a 00 and yes..3 accidents make nothing fit properly.
it was pretty easy..i didnt know wut i was doing at first..steps i took were
remember to be carefull and use an oven glove when removing out of oven
-preheat oven to 350*F
-turn off oven and put in one of the headlights (unless ur oven fits two) *thats a huge oven*
-let sit for about 2 minutes
-i used an old knife because i wasnt shure if the tacky stuff would stick on..and it did..so i'd use a knife that is sharp and you wont use again
-have someone with you to slowly open the headlight while u work on cutting the sticky tacky stuff off
-after you get the two apart..there are two screws holding the actual housing that you want to paint together, un screw those and take out the amber reflectors
-it depends on you if you want to sand off the chrome..i didnt but just start primer'n and paint'n.make shure to get a few good coats of each and let dry
-after dry'd...put the housing part back in with the two screws and the reflector..put the two halves together and put in the oven for about 1-2 minutes at 200 or so degrees F..
-after you get those out of the oven again try to connect the two halves together which should be easy because the tack will still be sticky and should bond together with pressure..make sure both halves when together looks like stock meaning clips clip together again..
-uhh i think thats it
