did you remove chrome before painting?
notice the white led strip in the turn signal, on the housing it acts as a mirror and it reflects and make it 2 lights.

give us more pictures with your turned on headlights please
the las one is nor really good....
did you remove chrome before painting?
looks nice, i wish when i did mine i thought to take the time to add leds or projectors.
the answer seregga, since he asked twice, i am not sure what perfect_esl did, but i just scuffed the chrome with a grey scotchbrite pad and then used a coat of etch primer for adhesion. you can not take fake chrome off plastic parts like removing real chrome off metal.
thanks broQuote:

Looks good, nice LED's.
why didn't you install projectors? + HID kit
because i am cheap and broke .
did it answer your question ?

Sounds about right.Quote:

U paint ur stock headlights inside ? How did it do with no reflection on the headlights wat did u use to reflect to make it bright
. Reflector is a seperate piece, remove it to paint remaining housing.Quote:

it does just fall apart in the oven, you still have to "pry" it apart.
(make sure you remove the 10mm bolt next to the turn signal bulb)
oh ok thanks for the reply....I'll be sure to try it out again....
do a search for "joey mod" on here and the rest of the web ,you will see lots of info pertaining to this.
