Just wanted to share with everyone my first mod.

Thanks to all the great threads on here, and the how-to's, helped me out a lot.

Here's the before after.

I agree with everyone that says it really compliments the lines of the car.

And a few more images for those that are interested, granted, you've seen similar before.


pulled the bumper and lights


bake the lamp housing, which was freaky as hell the first time... and a piece of cake the second time.


got it all apart, seems so easy once you remove the diffuser... then I had to put it all back together.


and I took the advice of others on here and simply colored the lights orange with a sharpie

you did a great job, i was too scared to do it myself so i had What The to do my headlights. You should get the chrome bulb sets which blink orange from ricks, i think it looks much cleaner. here's my car...





I had to whore my car and the pics are by jeff...

nice love the clear headlight look

thejohnremus

nice ushjt,

yeah, it was a little nerve racking throwing the first light in the oven... but after that the second light (and rest of the job) was a breeze. But gettin the drivers side housing back on and sealed with the body was a bitch - at least it was warm out today.

Thanks for the photos, I'd seen those bulbs on Ricks, but wasn't sure how they looked in the car.
I may wait a while to replace them though, I don't feel like tearing that apart again right away.

I'm thinkin I'll do the calipers next.
I'm not sure if I should go red or yellow though - thoughts anyone?

I like the reflected orange in the chrome! i'd leave them in if it was me

Stephenopoly
