Blacked Headlights, AC Line, and moved horn
Blacked out headlights, AC Line, Moved Horn.
I must say that while this is a very worth while mod, only costs 5 bucks worth of materials, and looks great.... THIS IS A PITA. Allow yourself 8 hours at least to do this. I rushed and also wound up putting car back together in the dark, and it still took about 7 hours.
There are how to threads to do this but one thing i didnt read up on that i learned while attempting this is that the headlights are completely out of allignment when you put them back together. I know ill be spending alot of time trying to get them back into proper allignment over the next few weeks. Fog Light delete kit is next...
Ask away with questions ill be willing to help....
Also check out my build thread here:

I didnt take the pics, best i got for now...

you cant paint middle section because it wont reflect the light. the how to is in the how to section. there are little screws on back of headlights to adjust them, just pull up to a wall, turn lights on, and adjust. i put the horn right behind the bracket thats in the center behind the  symbol. thanks
