Smile Completed my 1st mod (clear headlights)

Cleared Headlights
Tools:
Rubber mallet
Phillips Screwdriver
Flathead Screwdriver
5 Gallons of patience

Basically i followed the DIY to take off the bumper and remove the headlights.
Then i used the rubber mallet to break the orange lens in the head light alternating screwdrivers.

Please give me some feedback








Then I added some 6K bulbs:

Default Wow!

What a first mod, a doozy.

I absolutely love it. I've been meaning to do this myself. Looks great. Very clean frontend to my eye.
