Finally got the lights done...
had to dremel the headlights open to paint the buckets; definitely a pita - wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
the tails were infinitely easier; just covered the backup lights with red tint. as long as i roll down the windows, i can still see okay when backing at night, though the red light's taking some getting used to.
still have a lot mods left to do and no **** time to do them.
in the process of painting the brembos at the moment. lmk what you think of the lights!

Looks KILLER from the front! Would like to see some more/better photos of the headlights.
Undecided on the taillights. The pic looks good but I am not sure how it looks up close.
Your car looks Bad A**. What suspension mods have you done?

thanks, brandon. here's the only other shot of the rear i have right now (gonna blackout either the trunk lid or the spoiler)...
the tint came out pretty good. only a trained eye can see some of the wrinkles i couldn't get out (cause I suck at tint) and then only up close.
and a closer front shot...
sorry bout the poor quality. gotta get batteries for my good camera.

I was thinking about doing the same thing to my HIDs but I am not so good in the patience department. How hard was it to get the headlights resealed and have you had any condensation problems since you disassembled and painted them?

Could I get some better pics of the headlight pretty please.
Straight on, profile, and quarter shot from level of light with the headlight taking up about 80% of the frame. That'a as accurate as I can request, lol. I want to see your parking lights' detail so I know where to mask off. I'm about to axe mine open.

I'm really interested in more information about the taillights. Any chance you can take some pictures/video if the brake lights and turn signals in action? I'm curious how strange it looks to have the middle portions of the taillights not lighting up, if you can even notice it, etc.
yeah
