headlights look good and flows nicely with your grille. Nice work!

I am not a fan of the blue lights....that's just me...but it looks good.

I did it myself and since it was my first time doing anything like this and the process itself being pretty time consuming it took quite a while. From the first screw to be taken off to the last screw to be put back on took up my entire day. About 8 hours to be precise.

Dude im a complete noob at this all i did was read a couple threads on what to do and decided to just go for it! Honestly, dont be scared i felt the same exact way but just be carefull and everything will come out fine for sure! I highly recommend just going for it, it will be ok i promise! I didnt even know how to take my bumper off lol i just figured everything out as i was doing it.

Good luck if you decide to do it!

Love the blackout headlights! But a bit too much blue in the DRLs, though (for my taste).

Props on the DIY!

Looks cool... seeing that you're in CA though, I hope the cops around where you drive aren't very nitpicky.
