Headlight modification?

Also hell yes I'm still doing this. I'm nervous because I'm not mechanically inclined at all. Also need to be careful taking of my front bumper due to the DLR

Also hell yes I'm still doing this. I'm nervous because I'm not mechanically inclined at all.

Also need to be careful taking of my front bumper due to the DLR kit. I'm sure it just unplugs but w/e

Why don't you stop being a d1ck to those people who are actually trying to help you out. It's always better to be a little cautious and aware of what possible difficulties you might encounter while working on a project like this. Going in acting like Superman and thinking nothing can possibly go wrong is a terrible idea. No one has a bad attitude saying that we can't do it. We're just trying to be cautious to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Its not even that, all Im hearing from a couple people is, Im not gonna do it, I dont wanna fvck it up, and yall are gonna fvck it up..its not happening bro, and Im not claiming to be superman, confident yes, superman no. There's a difference.

I've done my homework on it, and I feel like I can do it. I must have missed the people helping you out posts, because really I havent seen it. Oh wait, the people you're talking about would be Khoi, & Falcon, and their input is greatly appreciated. Sorry, if I missed a couple others.

See there you go again! You know what, I'm tired of dealing with your BS dude. I think I will just stay at home and let you guys have fun with this. If it turns out good I mighty try it on my own. Good luck

Eh. I think everyone should take a deep breath and relax. This is as much about hanging out/having a few beers/eating wings as it is ******* around with headlights.
I think you should come regardless. There will be tons of food etc.

I was perfectly fine with that and helping out even if I didn't do my own headlights. It appears as if I'm no longer wanted there so I'll find something better to do with my time. Hope you guys have fun. Be sure to post plenty of pics when you're done

DM, did you already buy your paint? You're going with the semi gloss black right?

I thought someone else was in charge of paint but I can go get my own. I want semi-gloss black though. I can pick it up from Lowes right?

Yeah, Im gonna have to pick up my own too, its ok, its only a few dollars anyways. I'll be going with the semi glass black. Krylon Fusion I believe it is. You can get it at Walmart, Advance Auto Parts, and maybe Autozone.

I was in charge of the paint, but since I'm not going anymore someone else will have to take care of it. I was going to get Krylon Fusion Satin Black from Wal-Mart, but you should be able to find it at Lowe's too. It's designed to be used on plastic so it's good for the headlights. It's the same exact one used in the DIY's for this mod on the forum. You can go check out those threads for more pics.
