Driver side headlight almost finished (clearcoated the lense so it could turn like new):



as you can see, I left the chrome edge for each projector holes;





This is without the lense. Now I am askin myself a question: Is it better with or without the orange deflector ?

hella tight.. I like how you left the silver around the rings.. As for the amber, I say leave it, they look better with the black imo

Looks great with keeping the bezels chrome I'd say leave the amber in, it looks fine on a dark car.

keeps it clean, classy look, OEM look (rare)...not a ricer mod. Remember, we have a Lexus, not a civic !
