Nice! Don't forget to seal em up. I've got the same ones sitting in a box incase I do a projector retrofit... I painted my OEMs because the Ebay's leaked like a champ... They are sealed good now, but it took a few try's.

Goop this seam with silicone all the way around for some extra leak protection.

I've had great luck with permatex black RTV. If you take them apart and seal them then use permatex ultra black adhesive RTV.

Have the same headlights. Definitely seal them up. I need to reseal mine currently after I dry them out.

Black housing on the inside instead of silver

I wasn't planning on opening them up. I was just gunna seal from the outside.

It was like 78$ total. Cheaper than my leveling kit lol.

I also was like how did he know I had two guitars until I checked the pics again. They're my moms boyfriends. The darker one is a Gibson. The other is acoustic and is some cheap company that starts with an O. I have a Yamaha acoustic myself but I guess it's not important enough to be hung on the wall lol.
