Haha, that has more to do with taking off the bumper 594 times, along with running aggressive offsets in the front. It's not really noticeable though - just happens that I took the picture from that angle. Thanks for the compliments on the housings, I really like how they look.

Hmmm, I've done blackout headlights before, but not with a heat gun because I don't have access to one.

Can I still use my oven trick???

NM, read through all nine pages. for the answer. haha.
