Default Headlights

I just got me new set of Ebay Black Headlights (Not OEM NR ones saddly)
Fedex just left them on the front porch, It seems the most Expensive things I buy get left...Grille (That I took back of once it chipped), Running Boards and now the Headlights
But I planned to paint a eyebrow on them, so I figured it wasnt worth the extra for NR ones since I can just paint the trim to.

Currently I have Chrome ones with a black eyebrow on them.

Heres the new ones, might put them on tomorrow, or just leave them off till summer comes when I plan to pull the entire front end apart.

They look great man, can't wait for the install pics!

I had a problem with Autoplicity getting me a tracking number for my replacement shocks that I had to return because belltech packaged the wrong ones... turns out when I sent my sister by my house while I was on vacation, the shocks were there on my porch. When I returned, I checked the tracking number and they had been sitting there for 3 days lol.

You can see in my sig pic, there isn't a whole lot in the way of prying eyes in my neighborhood. I just have trustworthy neighbors I guess.

Not sure how much you spent on those, but most that are like yours look like they are going for $152

for $20 more bucks you could have had these and skipped the painting

I paid $131+$40.
Also when I click that link it has them for $179+$45

I looked for around 3 or so months for cheap NR ones and could find any. that didnt become very expensive with shipping since im in Canada.
I planned to paint a eyebrow on them, but not 100% sure anymore lol.
