Default My First Mod...What Do You Think?

My buddy loves doing vinyl stuff and he asked if I wanted to vinyl the corner of my headlights to help hide the amber. He's still a beginner so it isn't the best job but I think it looks pretty decent. We also tried to do the foglights with some yellow film but since the fogs are dome shaped we couldn't figure out how to get the vinyl to stick. Any suggestions on the fogs would be greatly appreciated Let me know what you guys think of the vinyl on the headlights!

You could heat and stretch to cover fogs

Fogs are easy. Just buy them pre-cut. Heres mine.

Vinyl over the amber would look better on a darker car, I think.

I think it look very cool!!! For the fogs try and use a hair dryer. It worked very well when doing the taillights. If that does work you will have to cut out a triangle.

ditto on the heat gun/hair dryer for the fogs... that really goes for any contoured surface.
it looks nice by the way, leave it as is, i would not recommend doing the whole headlight.
