Just picked this M45 up a few weeks ago, as with all vehicles i cannot leave it stock. Ive got big plans for this vehicle for my 2014 build and this weekend got started with my first mod.

Colormatched headlights, took a little work to disassemble internal parts but got them knocked out. Will be adding some lighting goodies later but this will do for now.

clean work :dblthumb:

did you also cover up or smoke the side area that has the 'amber' lighting??? sorry if I didn't describe it correctly :biggrin:

you can see it more pronounced on my signature picture below (it's the outer portion of the headlight) I'm wanting to get that area smoked to cover up the 'amber' color...

Yes, the Side reflector along with the inner shroud are painted purple (My color theme for this build)

White and purple is a nice mix.

Do you have any pics straight on to the front of the car?

Looks good did you do anything to the projectors while you had them opened up?

lights look fantastic, it seems your lenses look fine why would you replace them? Also I need lenses and would be interested in your old ones because mine are ruined from the inside and right now I can't afford to purchase new assembles just to get the lens.

The Headlight Assembly Lens are good, i meant the Projector Lens. Plan to swap out to a clear to give them a sharper cutoff and a bit more light output

Nice work. I was looking at my lenses the other day and noticed they were fresneled. If I ever get into my headlights I am smoking the reflector and swapping out the lenses. What lenses are you going with? TRS is local to me and I used them for parts on my S2K retros for my last car. Great quality stuff.
