:cool:
 
Sorry everyone, it's been rainy the last couple days, and I'm pretty sure rain is in tomorrow's forecast as well. I'll get pics up, ASAP! JYI, They look :drool:.
 
Well I was going to take pics today, and didn't because they now have condensation in them.:nonono: I know they are sealed because I siliconed them twice before putting them back on, just to make sure they didn't leak! So now I'm thinking that maybe they aren't sealed where the rubber deals on the back of the headlights, where you insert the bulbs? So as soon as I get some time this week to take they back off and look them over I'll take some pics after I dry them out. :mad:
 
Finally got some pics. Not the best though, I couldn't figure out my girlfriends camera.

Those look good man. Nice work. I like the light pattern too. Yellow fogs with blue HID's. Same as what I got :laugh:
 
so you painted on eyebrows but didnt bother to paint over the stupid silver stripe? :shrug:

other than that, they look good.

Yeah, I do need to fix that, havn't decided what to do yet though. T-red? or Black to match the hightowers... :ponder:

always do body colored, anything else stands out and looks weird.

you could always convert to a non-power stubby antenna, like i did. of course, on a black car it kind of blends in a bit better than it would on a T-red.

looks good man. i need to hightower mine. kinda hard when its my dd though. i wish i could do HIDs too. i love the look.

also, what kind of paint and prep work did you use when painting the chrome on the grill? mine keeps chipping off. and i like how you painted the little chrome ring around the ford emblem t-red. that looks awesome.
 
I just roughed mine up with some sand paper then tapped the mesh and ford emblem on the little oval off. Then put like 3 coats of paint and a couple clear coats. Mine gets little chips from time to time, but I just use some touch up paint and it still looks fine. I think I'm going to start looking into a stubby antenna as well.
