FINALLY. A project that doesn’t turn into some kinda of vehicular-disabling, distastrous headache.Popped the ol’ yeller lenses off… removed the trim, and masked errythang off.
This stuff is AWESOME.
Hit ’em, left and right.
The color is hella vibrant… even with one coat. I did two coats for added ocular punch.
I decided to hit the back of the angel eyes that surround the high beam for good measure.
But I didn’t like how the face of the angel eyes stood out against the yellow.
So I hit them from every angle.
MUCH better.
Popped the new clear lenses back into place, along with the corner lenses and lower trim.
Headlights and high-beams on.
It looks INSANELY sick in person. I’m amazed at what a difference this makes on the car. Getting those crusty ol’ beat up yellow lenses off there probably made the biggest difference. I’m super-stoked how this turned out… even if I did just find a thread filled with e46 folks doing the same thing. This paint from Vans definitely made a huge difference, and was worth every cent!

Hey Casper! Was about to hit my ’70 GTO’s high beams with Krylon Stained Glass Yellow 9024 (found it at Michael’s in the crafts paint aisle) and found your thread on Google. Your headlights look sick! Cheers from the Yangs in Las Vegas!
