    What's the protective covering that you have over the lens and where would one pick up such an item?

    edit* I'm also interested in seeing these installed as I was also planning on doing a color match for the grille over the turn signal.

    Just got these installed pictures from a customer. I did a bhlm on these, left the reflector amber, and made an acrylic cover for the turn signal bucket. 6DE66346-7644-4C20-989D-D42135AECD9E.jpg2CA80088-37F2-475A-A4E9-1F4EAC56F66F.jpg

    Just do it yourself, it’s not that hard just time consuming. All I did was watch a bunch of videos on YouTube before I did mine.

    I just love seeing it in other builds! Keep up the good work. :)Think about wrapping the inside with vinyl honeycomb for even more blacked out look(without sacraficing much light loss)

    For the acrylic behind the turn signal grill, is there a preferred thickness that you use? To get it to mold to the grill did you use a heat gun and then press it into place where it would sit? Cut before or after molding?

    Also @mesojdm regarding the honeycomb vinyl, did you purchase online or is it available through brick and mortar stores?

    Sorry for all of the questions, just want to get everything lined up before starting the project.

    Yes please more info on the turn signal acrylic lens. The ones posted by @mesojdm earlier in the thread appeared to be smoked (if you are selling them let me know how to get some)...but on @no vtec 4me 's pics they look fully amber?! That look is fire!!

    It’s just 1/8” acrylic, it comes in many colors. I offer amber or smoked on my builds. I can also make them to sell, $35 shipped per set.

    Pics of what they're talking about? Is it the film for the turn signals?

    In the photo they quoted above it’s the “film” over the turn signals. It’s actually 1/8” acrylic epoxied to the back of the turn signal grill.

    Has anyone done a “smoked headlight mod” rather than a BHLM? Where the inside is painted a shiny gray? Thinking like the later second gens:
