Painted my headlights! (Updated - NEW PICS 1/23)
Well, the first time around, I made a mess that I had to clean up with the purchase of a new lens.

All finished!

two things always watch out for when doing this mod, condensation and fingerprints. I did this mod on my 02 EJ25 when i had it and turned out quite well. Con grats on the mod, and your bravery doing it. Oem headlamps are'nt cheap.

I had been wanting to do it for a while, and it was fairly spur of the moment when I decided I wanted to do it.
I have no regrets, and it turned out fairly well for a first try. I'm going to give it another shot when my new lenses come in.
