      update of my lights. aka problem solved.

      if you recently read, my lights have been giving me trouble. so i bought HID and solved that ****. also i got new housings that are black instead of chrome. it lessens the amount of reflect, but i think its great since my lights are too bright for others. also instad of waiting for eyelids to come out i decided to use carbon fiber adhesive and make my own. it looks pretty decent actually. dont mid the glare in the pics, its just the camera and stuff. and last but not least, i added my own light install. i put extra driving lights under the grill instead of the actual fog light housings because my goat takes up one of those spots. but enough talk here are some pics.

      There's a write-up on that somewhere here, or maybe it was on the old forum.

      Here it is: http://aveoclub.proboards26.com/index.c ... hread=1389

      Nice!

      I really like the gauge colors!!
      the eyelids look good. It really is hard to keep the wrinkles out, when I did the second layer on mine I lost patience and ended up with a buncha wrinkles.

      Next time you take pictures of the lights at night, try the red eye reduction setting on the camera. I have a crappy camera but doing that seems to keep the glare down.

      Great job!

      If you are gonna run HIDs. Disconnect the DRLs if you have not already. It will kill them if you dont.
      And aim your headlamps down. You can see in the pictures that you are gonna blind the **** outta people.
