After a couple days... I have to say that this look is really growing on me! Although the new P53 headlights gave a completely fresh look to this classic SAV, I've always been annoyed by the flat line on top of the headlights (vs the 2 half-circle at the bottom).

This is definitely one of those things that either you like it or hate it completely! But trust me, it does look pretty damn good in person together with the rest of mods


X5Dawg - yep, just vinyls. I just high quality with semi-glossy that matches with the rest of the black trims.

Chigga - You got it!!! I put it on the bonnet to make the headlights look bigger, "awake" and "focused", while all other similar mod put them on the headlights itself, which makes the car look half asleep!

dsm1925 - nope, didn't paint the flare, they are just kept clean on daily basis ;-)

richirich - Thanks man. I think it might look good one yours as well, give it a go ;-)

chile1 - I know what you mean. But I think putting them on the headlights with bodycolor will have the opposite effect: makes the headlights look smaller and lazy.

X Foomph & PersonaNonGrata - really appreciate your honest feedback. May be I'll get tired of this after a while ;-)
