I think the color match of the projector housings looks fantastic. It gives a nice contrast in the headlight, and kind of makes them look like eyes if you know what I mean. The paint I got was a bit expensive ($60 for basecoat, midcoat, and clearcoat) but came with plenty of paint to do both headlights, engine cover, and a lot more. Color-match was pretty damn close to dead-on, I can't tell a difference when looking at them but I don't know if I'd use it for touch-up or not.

Excellent work!
The only thing I would suggest is that it's not a bad idea to use some painters tape to cover the chrome strip when drilling the holes. If you are planning on painting this piece after it's not a big deal, but if you are going to leave it chrome, on little slip of the drill can be a real pain in the ![]() Great job though, and thanks for the write up! ![]() |

I PM'd Caravanshaka and worked out a deal to have my lights done as well. Can't praise him enough for the excellent work and follow up. I initially had some minor issues but he went the extra mile to make sure it was perfect.
Here is an after pic of his handiwork: |

Got some Morimoto 6000k bulbs in today from the retrofit source and decided it was time to post a quick video of the headlights
![]() edit: moved the video to the 2nd post to make it easier to find DIY: Headlight LED's and blackout

if you are skeptical of the black housing, you could always leave all of the chrome and just black out hte projector shrouds.
I personally think it would look pretty sweet with all black housings, as long as you went the same route as Mike (forum sponsor) with black wheels and tinted tails and such.

ya, some like it, some don't. Mike went a nice route with the accent colors that grab your eye.
