Default Thinking of painting my headlights from inside

Im in the process of painting my heads from inside ,

I am not sure what color would perfectly match the white LS.

White or Black ?

If anyone has a pic of a custom painted LS please post...

i would say dont do it. its a difficult and risky upgrade that really out weighs the finished product. you dont really get "much for your money" and you risk getting water in the headlight assy at a later date and possibly cracking/damaging your light in the process.

not to mention, i dont think it even looks good.

Dont do it man.

I dont mind doing it over and over and over again..

The lighting looks fine from outside but once your in the car you have the feeling that your driving with the lights turned off. lOl i will keep cleaning them again and again. This guy im going to is a pro. Ive seen so many cars he has done and the feedback from the ppl was perfect.

If it gets overboard i will take a stone and throw it at both sides and then call the police for an insurance report and have them replaced for free and this time i should learn not to mess with my heads again. lOl

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say here can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't not afford one, you can try to take up a collection on this board, but don't count on these cheapskates to help you!
