Dude, get some better pics of those headlights. Those things are freaking awesome. That pic did not do them justice.

[mobs241]

take better ones tommorow, i took it like as i was leaving for work.lol
thanks for the help bro, sorry we couldnt figure out wtf was up with your brakes, but you could tell i was getting fustrated wehn i started throwing my craftsman wrenches down the driveway.....lol

[smokinAMD]

Headlights are easy. If it wasn't for you wanting to paint the bezels, I can get a set of lights apart and back together in about an hour.

Yours were freaking easy, since they were so old.

who color paint did you use and for some reason i cant seem to get my headlights apart, they seem to be like glued together or calked together or something, so i dont know what to do to clear the corners and paint them

they are glued together. from what i understand smokin doing, unclip the clips,cut silicone from the 2 pieces seperate, then take the bezels out, and the other part where the refflector is pry the clip away to get to the reflector. then if you want to paint the bezels paint them, youll have to mask the turnsignal parts though.
i used cheap semi gloss generaic rustoleam. put a thin coat on, waited like 2 hour put another thin coat on, waited an hour repeat process like 5 times.

see any fog lights?
thats cause my car doesnt have them :lol:
works fine with smokins.... fog light push the grill up harder making it more stable...but i dont have fogs lol

[turtles_ride]

i actually cut holes in my mesh for my aftermarket foglights to shine thru, look pretty good because they have a blue sheen on the glass that you can see when they're not on, and they shine bluish.

[Youngblood77]

I can't wait to get all my lights replaced up front. Them Silverstars look sweet.

Looks really good.

I tried to do that in red and it didn't turn out too good
