So, I decided to bake my headlights and pull the ugly reflector out... and then when I had em all together, I thought, what a great time to polish them... but I decided to wet sand them... and then spray them with an automotive clear... and since I’m going with a black/gold themed exterior, I decided to add a little gold Pearl to the clear coat. I haven’t seen this done before but I’ve seen many vehicles with that prismatic vinyl on the headlights, and figured it would work. Well, here they are the next day, after curing for approx 16 hours. It was kind of hard to capture to Pearl effect, but they look AWESOME in person!

Sun glare to see the gold pearl

More pearl

Straight on shot out of direct light to show how clear I got them.

 

awesome job!!

 

Dig the clearing, not so much the gold

 

It'll make more sense when it's all together... I think the mild gold wil really bring the room together, feel me?

 

I’ll reserve my judgement until then

 

Good job doing something you want, but I fail to see the benefits of a lower light output.

 

1. not every mod people do has to have a performance benefit...
2. dozens of people smoke their headlights and taillights
3. literally zero difference at night, it’s transparent... but when the sun hits them, it has a gold hue, which matches the paints gold Pearl.
