I acutually just sprayed the head lights with vht night shades just a couple coats so its still legal just looks smoked.

I need to find another camera to take better pics all the pics i have are kinda blury.
But thanks for the comments I was a little nervus about painting it that color it was a bordom job over the long weekend.

I still have to do more painting in the door sills just haven't had time.
