Spent some time today and painted the parking lights and corner lights. I can't believe how good it turned out. I ended up using krylon fusion for plastic.
roughed the surface with 400 grit sand paper.
taped the areas up with regular painters tape.
Razored off the excess tape
Then flipped it over and painted it
Finished product

very nice!
looks better in person!!! I was just in a rush to throw the grill back on because I had plans. I'll try and take a picture tomorrow of it finished and installed.
I went from faded, ****** headlights, fog lights and corners to a really nice HID headlights, LED turn signals and clear corners in one day. Only set me back around $300 for everything too.

While I was at it, I went ahead and did the top reflector project too. Its almost impossible not to scrape the inside plastic with the drill bit when doing it and with clear corners it shows more. I haven't ordered my 194 LED bulbs yet for it, but i think with the bulbs in, it will camo the small scrapes I did.
