This past weekend, I finally got to paint my headlights! This is something I've always wanted to do because the headlights stand out to much against the black color of the car. I originally wanted to paint the housing Nissan color code K11 gunmetal, but I was unable to get the paint in time, so I went with another gunmetal color that Kragen/O'Reilly's carried in store. It came out slightly lighter than I would've liked, but it will do for now

Bumper off with the Stillen Gen3's

Headlights open

Housing painted

Clear lens installed

Everything put back together

Cutoff/output before

Cutoff/output after

^The wall is not perfectly flat here, there are parts that are concave, so it might look like there are ridges..

In the process of painting the housing, my friend also installed STi-R clear lens for my projectors. I've always been envious of his ZKW clear lens/TL projector combo, and now I finally have a nice cutoff of my own!

Here are some quick garage pictures
