here are my crappy camera phone pics of my headlight clearing... all in all i say it was pretty easy, the hardest part was installing the headlights back into the car. The hardest part for me was waiting, i have no patience..LOL

on with the pics.

here they are after seperating them, sorry for the small pics by the way



here they are after i primered them.


here is them painted with the little chrome ring. I was going to do the time attack red ring and i even bought the paint, but i will end up doing that when i put in the angel eyes and the chrome amber bulbs.



and here they are installed back onto my car...



Tell me what you think!!!!

was bored and finally ordered the fake V-lim from Ebay from user Baysonr, and also ordered the carlabs X brace.. I hear great reviews on this product so i figured i would try it out... im sure once i install the RCE blacks, the TIC fender braces and the Carlabs X Brace, and i already have whiteline sways im sure i will be pretty stiff to run an auto X or two...

Nice, good stuff Can't wait to see the pics, how hard is it to remove the circle vents from the driver and passenger side?

I thought they were going to break when i took them out, but i used a flat head screwdriver and put it underneath and popped them off. Pull till they feel like they are going to break and they will pop off..

The lights look good and I really like the dash

Bishop, this might help. I'm hoping to paint mine soon as well...I've been talking about it long enough
The lightwerkz write up is awesome and I've looked at that one as well but this how-to has a bit more about taking the lights out
