looks good.

Yeah better lighting would be ideal.

did you just do a flat black? can't really tell. Though I would have gone with a black with sparkles, my JDM integra Type R headlights came that way and looked great.

Yeah I went with flat black so it wont look too flashy or look aftermarket. Looks like it came this way and matches really well with all the other black trim and the grille. Ill take better pictures soon.

I remember reading that it was because it was taking up too much room to stock all the different color headlight assemblies....

Headlights look great! Not sure how it would look on a black fit but nice contrast on white!

ahh i see that makes a lot of sense. it would probably look good on black too, i was never into the chrome they have in there, its gives the car more character

Lol actually he helped me do it. Plan was to do both our cars but we took a pretty long time on mine and we were both kinda tired. We tried doing it without removing the bumper but found it easier to just remove the bumper. And yeah we baked it at 300 for about 4 minutes and it came apart easily. Re used the original glue and haven't had problems with today rainstorms and me washing my car today. Used krylon flat black over duplicolor adhesion promoter. Nick will have his done next weekend
