I might have to try this. You should swap out the projectors while you're in there.

Interesting... if I was mechanically inclined I'd do it.

I keep getting PMs about doing this for people.. Id probably be willing to do it for cheap if you supplied the paint, but Id be worried about something happening and by some chance, a light cracking. Im fine doing it on my own lights, but Id hate to slip and suddenly I owe someone a 500 dollar light.

I still have one more light to do on mine, if everything goes smoothly again, which im sure it will, ill try and figure out a way to help some people out with theirs.

You got some marbles to pull this off! but it looks good. If i can find a spare set of head lights i would try em out too.

u should put custom angel eyes in there as well, ive seen them somewhere on a forum. looks really good

Next step might eventually be angel eyes.
UPDATED PICS- FINISHED!

Word of advice on this DIY, spray over your matched paint with high temp clear engine paint (5.99 at autozone) I was having a problem with the paint melting a tiny bit inside the bezels, and leaving a layer of paint fumes on the inside of the lens. This 500 degree gloss solved that problem...and theyre watertight, they sat out in a rainstorm last night
enjoy

I definitely need to get stealth bulbs now huh

i think because the kit is soooo off it makes it look weird too

looks great! I have seen it done on a WB, and it just did not look right but I love it on the WWP and the MS kit.

Props!

i think it cheapens it. i thought the idea sounded good but not a fan of the end result.

because the kit is sooooo off???
Im lost there, if you mean the line where it meets the hood, those 4 bolts arnt in yet, i just finished putting the lights back in and layed the bumper on there to get some pics.

thanks for the comments everyone though, i love it, im not going to lie...i think it looks great with the WWP

ivory8

looks great man thanks for the DIY

BigRed

yes, that's what I mean. I think it would look better with the bolts in It was just distracting to me. lol.

Kris

I wonder how this would look if you did it in black instead of white.

Remember this..............it was on that crazy camo car from NZ!
