They look awesome but to me may not be worth the effort (effort was a nice way to say frustration) taking the lights all apart. Unless someone wanted to do it for me.

I certainly hope those aren't going on Alpine White. It would look like eyes with mascara. Otherwise, they look good.

Oh, and you do realize your warranty on those headlight is now shot to hell, don't you?

Looks nice though.

Congrats. You're doing great! mds82 also did this, but used CF adhesive, which looked pretty good too.

When you're done, go to sleep!
