alright so I ran out of time yesterday, and I'm clearing my corners now haha. I've got everything apart. I knew the bezel looked dirty inside the headlight, but I got it out and tried to clean it, and it didn't work. It looks all moldy and part of the chrome is actually gone. I've got pictures if you don't believe me! haha. Parts of it are black, parts are clear, and parts are chrome. It's all messed up. So I'm going to paint it all black for now, and then possibly at a later date bring them back to chrome. I really wanted to just paint the front of the bezels black, but the part in the back by the light looks the worst, so I'm just gonna go all black for now. We'll see how it looks!

If you want color match paint, some auto paint places will do color match spray cans if you bring them your car's color code.
I did it once and had 2 cans made for a touch up.

Alright I took a couple pictures! They're just a couple since I haven't really had time today, so I just took random ones when I got out at places... I'm sure I looked real silly... Anyways here's one from the front in the light... Not the best picture but it'll do.
And this picture is my personal favorite with the silverstar ultras all lit up. Too bad it was all rainy.
I love it! Thank you guys for all your help. Now I officially feel like I fit in here with my clear corners

hahaha that's NOT me. That's my favorite musician before he got big and famous . Yeah I sanded my lenses down a bit to clean them, but I still have more work to do to get them clear... They were really oxidized and crap. Once I clear them up more my girl will look much better
And thank you for saying it looks decent, I'm glad to get an opinion other than my own haha. I wouldn't be able to handle it if it looked really bad. I might go cry myself to sleep... for a whole week.
