That orange is a couple shades too bright. Darken it down a lil bit and it should look alright

it's risky...reminds me of the S2000 headlights a little with the orange...if it doesn't look good or right on the car i would strip the paint off... There is an unwritten rule, and that rule is clear > amber. is your car that color?

Is it Halloween already? Man those things are bright. It doesn't look like any light would pass though that. Did you paint the inside or outside of the lense?
