Default nice new mod

painted headlights. turned out AMAZING! super easy job. baked them in oven at 140 Celsius for 12 min each and came right apart. baked them again for another 8 min and the silicone peeled out in 4-5in strips. if your scared to try this don't be. Easier then changing brakes lol.

Looks great!
If I was going to go through the trouble of opening up the stock housings to paint them, I'd probably do a retrofit on them as well. Kill two birds with one stone, lol.

Unfortunately I know nothing about retrofits lol. I do plan on just a HID kit. I'm not trying to spend to much as I have 2 big projects. This truck which is developing a tick and my 2012 BMW s1000rr which will be at the tracks all summer hopefully.
