Whited out the EM2's Headlights

So les has been on my but to Black Out her headlights. Figured why not this weekend kinda bored not much else to do... We head to walmart to get supplies. She sees the Pink paint, states she wants pink, I Veto that **** real quick. I then suggest white ilo black. She then has to call Adam, Green, and ask him. He agrees, white it is.

After getting both headlights apart I removed the reflectors and the amber pieces, I then painted the entire reflective housing white. I then put one of the light back all white, les did not like this. So I had to take it back apart and fix it. I then put them together with the reflective pieces and the amber back in. She was much happier...

So here are the pics, I am not going to go into detail very much. There is a DIY for those of you who have questions.

Stuff used:
8mm socket
10 mm socket
Philips screwdriver
2 small standard screwdrivers
1 container of isopropyl alcohol
1 can Krylon Fusion Satin White
some 120 grit sand paper
some painters tape
and my oven

The pics.

Before:







Now, bumper and headlights removed...

Re: Whited out the EM2's Headlights

The colors are really close.. So close I even sprayed some dings on the car and you could never tell. There are a couple on the front bumper and I bet you will never find them.
