So I picked up a set of 04 headlights from a buddy of mine to play with, since he switched to the 06 projectors. I'm not sure what I want to do with them but I know i'm painting the housings black. I want to a clear signal lense and LEDs down the clearence strip. We'll see how this goes.

Heres where I started:

Body coloring? Depends on the car.

I may make my own Angel Eyes...

I thought about color matching them but I didn't want to do that since my wheels are being color matched. That would be too much blue. Good idea though.

Cool I may take you up on some advice when I get my plan together.

EDIT: Cool Miss, I may PM you sometime.

I saw a tutorial on how to make angel eyes yourself...seemed easy enough, but I don't know much about wiring and all that.

OEM 360 Modena headlight housings are all color matched, doesn't look too bad.
