Small project - black headlights, diffuser, circle tail lights, debadge.

I decided to mess around with the headlights, i painted them satin black to give them the oem look. I also got rid of the clearance strip and the orange in the blinkers. I got a diffuser on the back and debadged the trunk for a cleaner look. I also did the small "mod" on the tail lights where only the circle light up.

Some pics are not best quality, my camera blows. I will try to get some day shots some time soon.

Satin sptray paint. Its all in the prep, if u prep it right it will look good and last. I painted my grille about 6 months ago and no chips yet.

On the second pic, the brakes are actually engaged, its just the camera that made it look like that.

I think he means the set of 8leds between the circle lights you have on in the pic and the reverse lights. I had the same question.....im guessing they dont work at all anymore?? Looks different...i like.

Thats rights, the led square doesnt light up anymore. Everything else works fine.
