Johnny, didn't even notice the blood got in the photo lol
Wayne, I'll do a write up as best as possible for it. Next time I'll document it with photos.
g35thrilla, I've mended cracked bezels with epoxy and bondo before. It turns out pretty good. Just be patient with them.

Sorry for the delay guys. I buffed the headlights and they are nearly how I wanted them to be. They went from a 3/10 to a 9/10; they look pretty awesome. I took photos with my phone, but the quality isn't that great. This weekend I'll get my actual camera and take some good shots. I'm living in St. Catharines right now and I don't have my camera with me.
By the way, John, your headlights look sick with the white body.

Yeah thanks bro, I spent close to an hour doing them. I still see some green when I turn the headlights on though, so I'm going to redo them, but in warmer weather. The wax froze the last time! The buffer couldn't even get it off, I had to use hot water.

What plan is Aman talking about for the summer? You guys putting in halos

There's only one guy in Cali that has done it successfully.
The problem is they use a different sealant.
The sealant is very close to the melting point of the plastic.
There have been a few that ended up with a pile of plastic goo, after attempting it.
The only other way is to get a couple of donor lights and do the chop method.

Ahh sorry Aju!
Make sure you keep some wax on there to stop the the oxidation this summer.
Aman and I are going to attempt carbon bezels with 3m DI noc vinyl, not sure how it will turn out but we'll see!
Edit;
Ian, I'll look into it. The QX56 lights are similar to what you've explained and they were a nightmare!
