did the headlight mod
well guys i finally got the guts to bake my headlights. one came out great and the other was fine untill i got a little overspray on the chrome part of the projector. i decided to dab a little paint thinner on it with a cotton swab and would you know...it took the chrome off!!!! so now i have a nice size white spot on my projector. i tried that chrome paint and it looks silver. i guess its not THAT bad but since i know its there....its gunna bother me! ill have pic tomorrow in the day light .

sux man, my advice is to find some of that stick on chrome paper at AutoZone or Pepboys and just lay it over the silver spot. It won't be perfect, but it will look better than the silver and probably be less noticable.
But glad to hear you had the ***** to bake your headlights, cause I sure don't.

Jay: Looks Good
Bob: Looks great, is that the 06 corners with the small reflector? I like that much more than the non reflector version I bought from EBay & I'm sure a bunch more legal as well. I would like to get a set of those & split/paint them. Also might get a set of 06 rears. This might sound stupid but I want to crack open a set of rears & even though you can't see the shiney reflective backing much I want to paint them black in hopes it will darken the light up some without spraying tint on the exterior of the lens.

I also have the 06/07 tails and like them. Personally, I would be reluctant to paint the rear reflectors for safety reasons.
