Default Best 12$ Facelift Ever

Well, After reading a DIY by MATT99 i believe???... I decided to color match my headlights to the color of my truck,
after all ... i had been looking into removing the vinyls that were on there because i hear nothing but horror stories with overheating them with hids.

Heres the final product!

those look great.

Isnt it crazy how one can of paint changes the front of a truck? I know its work getting them open/closed but you cant get more custom than matched headlights

i couldnt get them all the way closed + i broke 2 tabs on the one light (none on the other)... So i used some automotive goop to hold them together... and then GE Black Silicon to waterproof on top of that... total process took about 1.5 hours (not including drying time of paint which was 35 mins per layer (did 3 layers + 2 clear)
