Im not a fan of the LEDS in the headlight housing myself. The angle just does not look quite right. Maybe along the bottom, but i would rather have nothing.

Can someone in Houston do this for me? Lol I don't have the guts, and will probably break all kinds of things.

Just finished this mod on my Pearl White Z and it turned out awesome! I want to thank Caravanshaka for his great DIY and his willingness to answer all my questions. I used a heat gun instead of the oven and used Krylon Fusion "Dover White" spray paint to paint the projector shroud and turn signal shroud. The "Dover White" matched the Pearl White perfectly (in my opinion) and only cost $5! Attached are some pictures:
