Do you have pics on the car??
Also what kind of paint did you use, Im guessing you heated up the glue in the headlight, split it took the lens off and painted the inside part. Looks very nice need more pics please

Yeah or use a heat gun, maybe strong hairdryer. I did this once on my maxima. I will give it a shot on the G also. Is there a way to get rid of that orange lens inside the headlight???
