So I havent made much progress in awhile. Thought Id update my thread on what I completed today. Ordered some E-46 shrouds from The Retrofit Source.




Heating up the headlights to get the lenses off


Disassembled


Housings off


Primered


Nighthawk black pearl paint w/ flakes


Up close


Preparing to seal the headlights


Complete


On the car






Gotta black out the housing of the turn signals as well but I'm trying to figure out how to open them. Doesnt seem the same as the headlights. Might have to cut them open with a dremel and re-seal. Not sure yet. But it will happen

pretty sure you have to cut them open and reseal them, the lenses are heated and sealed on instead of using silicone-based glue.

looks good, these are the projectors you picked up off 0x21 right?

NICE. Once those signals are done it'll look 1000 times better, it just looks off right now, but we know you'll get it. Just make sure ya seal them up nice and tight.

So turn signals are done. Alot harder than I expected it to be. Didnt come out as well as I expected it to. When cutting with the dremel is melted some of the plastic material so when I tried to realign them back together to seal it, there was gaps. So I guess I'll just end up buying a set of pre-done black turn signals off ebay or somewhere and just use those. But until I can source a seller who will sell the turn signals only, these will have to do.
