nicely done! what kind of "glue" did you use to seal the headlight cover with the headlight housing?

i use silicone sealant from advanced auto, it's always fun. I've done like 4 sets of headlights so it's kind of monotonous.
what they used to look like:  some more pics:   |

no you really cant do it in one day unless you dont care about the "wet" silicone getting on your ride...it takes a day to dry
the jdm ones are gunmetal i believe. CTR did you use Duplicolor for the paint? |

you COULD if you so inclined. the ambler reflector is not smooth which would make sticking a sticker on quite difficult. the surface under the amber reflector is chrome anyway, so a silver sticker would have the same effect and just simply removing the amber reflector.
