This is just my opinion. I really dislike only the oval part painted. I'm also not a fan of just the upper painted like in your first picture. I think I need to see angles of the light when you get done putting it back together. Thank you for posting this. I had also thought about painting the inside body color.

I agree, all of the interior parts need to be painted. You are getting closer! Once the lens is polished, I think it will make a big difference

This is what I'm going to go with. The lower parts are painted now, took out the amber inside lens and I've solved the corner piece problem. Its clear now with red behind it. Starting on the lens today.

No, old pic. It's not done yet. Its just laying in the bottom piece in this pic. Going to put it back together and restore the outside when i do the headlight. Oh and add the small silver stripe ��

I have a question for you or anyone that knows. I separated this headlight with a heat gun because I have Xenon HL and was afraid id ruin it. Do you or anyone else know if the oven woukd be OK with Xenons? The heat gun method is a real pain.

Thanks
