    just got done, once the clear coat cures i'll wetsand and buff them







    the first coat of nite shades i put on the headlights bubbled up like crazy, i had to sand it all off and start over.. apparently there's some sort of coating on the lights, i could see it as i was wetsanding the nite shades off.. soooo i sanded all of it off with 240 grit then worked up to 800, sprayed a few coats of nite shades on then wet sanded and cleared with urethane clear coat.. 2nd times a charm haha

    will look really good on the car. might kill your light output tho. curious to see how that turns out.

    ok the clear coat has cured enough to handle them.. so i put them back on, still have to put the rubber seal back on the headlights, i don't think it hindered the light output that much.. here's a comparison between 12000k in the GP and 10000k projectors in my truck, the projectors obviously look a lot better.. but we'll see once i drive at night

    nite shades actually has a purple tint to it.. if you catch it at the right angle u can see it.. this is before wet sanding and clear coat
