Quick pics of HEADLIGHTS (modded)

[Weasel]

I didn't wash her down yet, or hook up the angel eyes yet... but I did instal the lights themselves and it looks GOOD! And the pictures are from a cameraphone. So hopefully better pics soon, maybe tomorrow.

With the headlights pulled apart, first I trimmed back the corner lens


Then I reinstalled the chrome filler



Then reinstalled the lens


Taped in place and glued in Angel Eyes (sorry no pic of that step)

Snatched up the smoked lenses and installed them with some non-hardening sealer



Before and after shot


Both installed (and I did want a bit lighter smoke than this, but this is how I got them from the paint shop)






So now the grilles look kinda out of place... what finish would look best on them? Fully gloss black? Gloss black center with chrome ring? But gotta do something now...

WOW the tinted headlights look even more bad ass on a black X

The grilles personally I would go fully gloss black...but whatever you decide it will still look great.

Nicely done

gloss black is perfect.. great looking X.. hurry up and do the gloss black LOL.

Anyone else feeling ripped off that there are no pics with the lights and AEs on and then pics with just AEs on.

Hey lights look awsome, do a flat black grill trust me

Another vote for gloss black, I would have them painted the same color as the car.

But why did you put the amber corners back in?

[X5rolls]

Yep - paint the grills satin black and the trim bezel as well around the grill.

Looking pretty sinister.

I hate it. Washes the car out to much.

To each their own.
