Default Finally painted my headlights!

Well I finally painted the headlights. Stupid me forgot to wash the truck first so those pics are a lil ways away. Not a big deal tho I thought I'd give you some as is so I don't get razzed for posting without pics. Here she is after a couple hours of work and 12 well spent dollars.

I took off te chrome handles finally too and am still waiting for a new sport bumper. The mirror covers are proving to be a bit of a pain so hopefully those will come off when it gets real warm out.

Yea I left the ambers out. I was going to go the way you did but I was just unsure of how much light would still escape. Might go back in there again one day but I'm satisfied for now.

Never been to blackout yet however we've been building a cummins on the side for it (my buddy has an 05 5.9L CTD) just want to get some ideas while were up there this year and maybe compete next time around.

Thanks Teach. They were a bit more of a pain than I was expecting but in the end it was well worth it.

I went back out also and got the ugly chrome mirrors off! I'll wash it all up here if the weather stays nice and have some up to date pics for you guys soon. You might have to wait till after Tuesday which is when I plan on finishing up the suede headliner if all goes as planned.
