Default Did A Little Baking
I decided I wanted to incorporate some turn signals into my headlight, and while I had it open I figured why not black the inside out as well. Here is a few pics. I am waiting for the wiring connectors to show up so I can wire the signals. I'll show them once I have that done.

Easy bake.


Separated.


Low Beam side.


High Beam side.


Mock up of turn signals. (switchback LEDs)


Before and After.


Back on the bike.

Wow! All that electronic crap just to make a headlight work. Amazing!

The blackout job should look great.

Here's the video. They are much more orange and bright in person. The headlights wash out the cell phone camera.

Sweet work w/the light baking. I did a few sets for my 2006 Colorado. Once you learn the tricks, it's not as complicated as people think. SharkNose looks great!
