Another Headlight Mod

Pics with light installed on car:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16843


Followed the great DIY article and split open my headlight housing:

Semi-Gloss Black (left the high beam reflector intact)
Morimoto Projector (yeah yeah it has the right cut off etc)
5000k HID
Painted Housing on projector red to match Firestorm
Butyl Sealant

Cant wait to install it this weekend.

Yes! lol. I'm going to paint the pointy side a different shade to make the beak. I'll also listen strictly to Poe in the car
