    The chrome is what gives you the warranty. So you want to soend $100+ in time and labour instead of a $8 can of spray paint?

    Are you saying that pro headlamps aren’t warrantied? (Rhetorical question)

    No. See first post.

    I scanned them but only saw the one where he replaced them. Did you do a diy?

    Is this applied on the outside of the plastic? I think I would do this, looks good!

    Right on, thanks.
    I was just making sure I was clear that this is what you used. Actually looks much better than I thought It would when I was checking out the ebay ad a while back!

    I've had that vinyl decal on my headlights for over a year now, no issues at all.

    Yeah I was thinking the same. Figured for the price it was worth trying. If you get them for the back, use the wet method. Lots of curves so it’s hard to avoid bubbles in the back.

    Wow that looks great! Again, from the picture it's hard to tell that they're stuck on the outside!

    Thanks for posting. I had kinda crossed that little mod off the list till I saw both yours and Deacon's!

    It’s a small touch, felt kinda silly trying them compared to some of the other headlight mods out there but I wasn’t about to buy new ones either. They actually look better then I thought they would.
