Looking good Mark!

Hmmm....I've been thinking about this...

Decided to keep that one area amber...trying to keep the safety inspection passable?

I'd paint the chrome parts gun metal or black, toss out any reflective orange parts, get amber bulbs, then install side-markers

only the turn signal bulb is amber, so i should still pass inspection, im trying to find that one bulb thats clear but lights up amber tho. no luck yet

i thought about painting the chrome parts but after looking at pics all over the net i decided to leave it crome it looks really good with blue, but if i had white or black car i wouldve definately colored it black or gunmetal

I think I would leave my PSM STi unpainted as well...I looked at both painted and unpainted chrome parts...both look good, but it's just a personal preference which way you go...

So both headlights from start to finish only took 1.5 hours? Wow...that is fast!

Fast?

Actually if you jam and know what you're doing it only takes like 50 minutes with no beer breaks

But, if you take your time to do it right...yeah I guess it could take 1.5 hours.

I cleared my headlights and it took a little over an hour. Then i did a set of my bro's civic lights. A couple weeks later my brother decided to help his friend with his accord lights. The idiots didn't call me and ask me. They baked at 350 F for 20 min. Can you say bye bye headlights. They melted like a whole corner of the headlight.
