Default HID on EP3 aka New SI! Baked and painted to perfection, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!

Well here it is...i recently baked and blah blah blah my bro's headlights. They came out pretty good. I didn't paint parts that wern't to be painted...lol...i did research! Anyways here are tons of pics of the headlights and HID on them. The kit consist of Lexus Ballast (fit under headlight, like OEM) and 4100k rating bulbs. I'm starting to wonder if the headlights were ment for HIDs as an option, looks like they have holes and stuff where the ballast can be place.




















Home made stuff

it took me about 1hr to do it. with taping and etc...

i made sure it came out good. paint i used was a light grey, but i know there is a smoke color that others have used it looks much better.
