yeah i got these from B16ADVAN04 in the mail today had my brother help me seperate them when i pulled em outta the oven. the clear lens needs some work but i think they;ll turn out really nice in the end. i only have one headlight apart so far and i am waiting for the paint to dry as i type. yeah so what do you think? i;ll have mroe pix later as i get stuff back together for a test but ima have my work cut out for me tomarrow cleaning those lens

personally keep your headlights or paint the chrome silver like your car and do the same with your tails, it will look different and at the samre time match the car - forget jdm its the new rice n e how
looks good though, bbut keep what you have

it looks like it needs one or two more coats of paint, unless you want the metallic look

lol thnx bro, but true i like when people colour match altezzas, they can look good painted, there is a 4dr on here in copper that has painted altezzas n they look good, now imagin that with silver tezzas and colour matched headlights...
------------
only thing i would do is get rid of the eyelids and the tiny foglights...
imo they take the look away - too much extras, actual oem square gfogs would look good, unless you can find large fogs like i have to fill the whole inside edges of your grill...

yeah color matched tail and headlights would be sweet. i thought that same thing today. i am not getting rid of those headlights in my sig and i am going to repaint those eyelids. probably sell the fog lights when i get a new bumper(duct tape is holding this one together)

its metallic paint and thats kinda what i am going for. plain black would look ghey on my car. im atake a pix of the headlight put back together, not for good, to see how it will look so far.

This coming from a guy who has halos....


Your DIY headlights look great. I think you should leave the lense in there, it looks clean.

no it looks like there is crap all over it. i;d rather take the time to clean them well than throw them back together how they are

what does spraypainting your headlights and jdm have to do with each other...

looks good so far... just make sure you seal them well..
