finally cleared my headlights

I finally cleared my headlights today. The car looks so much better now. It was easier than i thought; but it was a little time consuming. It took about 4 1/2 hours all together. But, it was totally worth it. I 'll post pics soon.

Oh yeah! It looks sweet now! I grew to hate the orange in the headlights, and now that it's gone my car looks so much slicker. It gives it a cleaner look.

I'm pretty sure that i sealed up the lights good. I'm just a little worried that condensation may get into the lights somehow. But clearing my headlights was totally worth it.

Now i've gotta buy a colored bulb for my turning signal. Has anyone been pulled over for having cleared headlights and no amber turning signals? .... cause that's what i'm a little worried about

If you get pulled over for something else, the can add on all your other violations and it can get costly. Don't they make some bulbs that look clear, but are yellow when flashing?

Thanks, man! The other day, I took it to the Honda dealership (in Duncan) for my oil change and everybody was talkin about it. They did an awesome job washing and vacuming it too. When my car wasnt pimped, they always did a shitty a$$ job. Must be one of the "perks" of having a cool car.

Yeah, my next project is to dress up the engine (electric blue), and lower my car in the near future. Should be pretty sweet.
