Headlight Installation Day

It was threatening rain, but I had planned on this since last night, so I figured I'd chance it and see what happened. I got a little wet, but just after I'd finished shooting my last picture and was gathering the stray bulbs and tools from the project.

The tinted headlights followed the look of the car well, but they didn't do much for lighting, you could see the bulbs as clear as day, and the driver's side one was broken on the fender side, with a large hole allowing plenty of water in. OK, let's go!

The before and during surgery shots:

And here's what it looks like now!


The grille is definitely a lighter shade of silver, although the camera enhances the effect plenty. All told, it's a functional improvement, even if some of the "awesome" has gone away.

Time to go do some work with the Hydra!
