it's actually a silver metallic vinyl, the pics don't do it justice, it matches my paint 100%, got it from my sign guy, it's high performance stuff, so it'll last 7 years in direct sunlight, i'll try to get better pics, thanks for the feedback, guys, not sure if i'm gonna keep it yet, though

no offense but imo that looks horrible. I would definatly stick to the clear corner mod. I did both of mine in about 15 minutes.

There are three bolts behind each headlight that secure them to the car. two on top and one on the bottom. Remove those. Pull the entire assembly out and unplug it from the harness. Next flip the light over so you can see the bottom. You will see a small notch on the bottom of the reflector inside the case. Get a dremel with a small bit to drill that out. It should fall out easily. take the backing off the headlights and carefully move the reflector until it falls out. after that put the backing back on and and get some silicon sealent to fill in the hole you just drilled. after it's dried reinstall and you are done. Let me see if I can find the write up I used. BRB
