I just got them in this morning. I'm disappointed, I really don't like them. Maybe it would look OK on black projectors like Tbat's, but not so much on chrome. I have dial up so it takes a long time to upload, I will try a few pics tonight.

I'm really pissed, I thought it would look better than it did, maybe it needs a wax, idk, it just doesn't look right. And Idk how i'm going to get them back the way they were, after wetsanding the lense will be all hazy, will clearcoat fix that up if I do decide to go back?

hmm, I guess they're just going to have to grow on me then lol. f***!!

Someone on a local forum just did his headlights in his mercury and brought them right up to new and he used the headlight restoration kit, I could always try that.

maybe the car just needs waxing or something, idk. I am going to wax it tonight. when the lights and car were wet when I washed it this morning, the colours seemed to match more evenly between the lights and the paint of the car and it looked much better, so I'm hoping that is it.

If not, I guess I am SOL.

Or it could be that I have everything back to stock. I am comparing what it looks like now to what it looked like in summer with everything on it.

sh*t, why could this not just look great like tbats? I didn't think the chrome and black projectors would look so diff.

it's similar to having black corner capsules with chrome headlight capsules.

EDIT: I've been looking at the black capsule corners and comparing them to mine. The black capsules have the white border where the lense is epoxied to the housing. I think I need to sand away the niteshades around the edge of the lights and leave the chrome border/outline. I think that's why I don't like them. Their is nothing to differentiate between the light, hood, fender and bumper.
