whoa, hob! very very nice! they look tinted but since you painted the chrome plastic in the back i guess you can see out of the without any problems?

i was thinking of doing this to my car. i think javageek did it to his.

i like chrome color, but black just makes the lights stand out. and it's awsome because it doesn't affect the brightness of the headlamp at all. did you notice any difference?

lol.gif Don't worry Dimi, when Hob comes after you for callin him a ricer I got your back. wink1.gif

Hobby, did you try using the DIY Clear Corner method? Heat up the corners in an oven, and pry them open after the glue is hot. Just make sure to reseal them afterward as you'll have them apart for a while.

I do not know how fragile the RD2 corners are.. but the RD's are prone to cracking if you pry too hard before the glue is compleatly released.

Looks sweet mate!

It looks like the glass is tinted, which I reckon's cool. I also wanted to do the chrome bit in my corners but they looked like they would break when I attempted to pull them apart... They're now too light in colour, next to the headlight, for my liking.

Yeah, RD1 corners are very fragile. Which is the reason I no longer have clears. 02.gif
