wondered what it would look like red p.s. you have a burnt bulb out or a missing one by the pictures.

I honestly don't mind it its not ugly

Yea the bulbs bunt out. But I just ordered some silverstars for them. Idk I think it looks good. Unique definitely, especially here in Alaska

It looks good up this close. You should take a picture at night and a little farther back, it will show it off better. And people only really focus on headlights at night... i hope.

Looks OK but I would have only painted the front of the bezel.

Did you use an adhesion promoter before paint?

Once you get the silverstars in it should look great

Looks ok, but I think it would look better if they were black.

Adhesion promoter?

I would have lightly sanded the part before painting it.....and use some promoter. the sun will be beating down on it, it gets hot.....might chip off..... looks good though.

I live in Alaska so it doesnt get over 70 more than 3 times a year and we don't get much sun either.

I painted mine with Krylon flat black without sanding or using the promoter. Three years now, and no signs of cracking or chipping.

That eases my nerves a lot. I used krylon red, no sanding or promoter. Looks like I'll be alright then. thanks
