got my headlights done!!!
took for FU***** ever!!!! first i tried using tape to mask-off the chrome i wanted to keep, and well.... it pulled the chrome off quicker than sandpaper so i started just taping the parts i wanted black and well spent like an hour trying to get them right and finally gave up and ran to wal-mart and got some universial black automotive touch-up paint with the little brush/ballpoint pen. and one of my g/f's art brushes,(she wasnt too happy about that) untill she say that i painted worse than my 4 y/o daughter so she unwillingly took over painting.
i did a lil touch up and let em dry and slammed them back together with silicone rtv. i think they turned out great im very pleased.

and ya draco, for the amount of problems i had , and getting frustrated and almost giving up, they turned out really good. but i have to give my ol' lady credit, she kinda saved the day.

thanx hammer it was definatly worth it!
i really thought i messed mine up and was dreading running around with f'd up headlights but i took my time and used a lil bit of patience and everything turned out ok, the hardest part was seperating the clear lens from the housing, after that its really just having a steady hand. just take a sunday and take your time. you will definatly not regret it!
