yeah you're right. i 'had' amber lights, but they burned out right away, cheap *** bulbs i bought at some ricer shop, i should have known better. so i have the stock ones back in. i haven't been stopped yet, i had the orange reflectors out for probably around a year now and no hassle from the fuzz.

i'll take some pics tomorrow, i just finished it tonight around 6:30 and my mom's car is infront of the garage so i can't backout. i'll wash my baby tomorrow and get some new pics. i really like how they came out. putting the painters tape to block out the sides took awhile, but i think it looks nicer than when the whole thing is blacked out.

Looks good man! I went ahead and painted the inside of that small ciricle area too, but that's just me. Had painter's tape and all, but was just trying for something different. They both look good IMHO. Nice job.

those are nice. i dont like the dull black on my twin halos, you think that i could repaint them with that high temp paint to make em match better? the black in them is pretty flat now.
