Default did another retro fit

was bored and my first retro i did i didnt like so i decided to do another one for my coupe.....
stuff u need. ...... headlights, projectors, bolts, jbweld, heat gun, ...

1. taking the headlights off the car...
then you can put them in the oven or use a heat gun
now the projectors came out of a 2001 jaguar but i used ac duct tape and panted them gunmetal.
now on the bezel u can see before and after dont like chrome so they also got painted gunmetal.(not by cans. but buy air guns)
then for the shroud. these came of those side walk lamps that people down on there sidewalks but my neighbors dont know that i tooked them.lol. jk. lowes 5.00 each.
now putting them together was easy but before i put them on the car the lenses where yellow but some sandpaper and a highspeed buffer the lenses came out like new (so if u need ur headlights buff out let me know )
and the finishing results i went and use 6000k and adjusted the lights at 15ft away from the wall. came out real good ....

How much did you pay for the projectors? the shroud thing sounds ghetto but it looks pro as hell. good job.

What paint did you use for the housing? Did you use primer, flat clear coat?
