Before




After some baking for a bit and swaping lens
I Still need to bake them once more to seal them...The blue on the projector is from the flash

Good job man! That look really fricking clean. Where you get that lens? I know I seen it somewhere that the lens is pretty expensive.

Me and a buddy tried that idea, the Ebay headlamp lens stuck out (forward, away from the edge of the hood) a good 1/2" from where it's supposed to be compared to the OEM lense. That's why when it was time I went with Supermade lenses.

Did you test fit them yet after swapping lenses?!?!

Fitment is not the best. When I do my retro fit i'll get the supermade lens. I did this for the time being.
