    Default custom painted headlights and ANGEL EYES!!

    k so i was bored the other day so i painted my head lights (finally) and installed my red angel eyes from Diode Dynamics.

    i used red and black Dupli•Color engine paint which is good up to 500* and i used VHT Nightshade for the turn signal. if anyone has any questions on any step of the process feel free to ask and i'll explain it as best i can:D

    since very few people have the angel eyes i don't feel like going into detail about the whole installation process but if anyone wants to know i'll explain


    here are some pics i took of the process and a bunch of the finished product...
    i'll snap some good ones with a nice camera whenever i get a chance...

    oven... on the first light i pre heated it to 250 and put the headlight in for 4 mins, then i played around with it for a little then put it in for another 2. it was close but still not enough to pull them apart so i put it in for a final 1:30 and i finally was able to take it apart.

    when i did the second light i just put it in for 5mins and 30seconds straight and it was enough to make the lights easy to open

    I'm glad to hear you used high heat paint. Its a must, otherwise the inside of the lens will fog up when the heat vaporizes the paint.

    Very unique for sure!
