looks really nice man!
antn, i used superglue as well. lol
i know this is a little OT, but i accidently ripped the top rubber trim on one of my headlights into 2. just wondering if there's a fix for that or some other rubber tube i could use. i also delined that section of my headlights. you really have to love sanding..

i ripped my old ones as well but i just superglue the pieces back on the headlight and you cant really see the rip unless you look carefully. this is my first and last time sanding headlights

You got that cutoff without painting the inside of your housing? There's hardly any glare...

Oh, I might have a passenger headlight for you =)

Let me know if you still need it

yea, the glare isnt that bad. maybe i havent adjust the headlight right yet, i think its aimed too high. i already got a another pair of headlights, thanks anyways i already sanded out the lines, i just need a buffer to polish it up and finsh the other headlight
