Just replaced my turn signal light bulbs. :D Any one know a cheap way to replace day time driving lights? I went to the auto parts last night to see if they had any clear light bulbs but they were $135 for a set of 2. :frown:

Anyway, here's what I did this morning...

Looks good. I'd rather wait and get my headlights blackhoused because my V is silver and if I do that, it'll stick out like a sore thumb. :lol:

Looks good on your hatch though, and matches the dark look. :bigthumb:

Clean,

go with silver on the lights instead of black and it would look good.

Thanks guys, and silver instead of black? I thought about leaving them OEM but I'd like to remove or cover the reflectors.

This is how she looks as of right now...

I agree with Canaan.
Make silver eyelids ... that would look good!
