[VN-VP] Giving your VN/VG/VQ/VP headlights a aftermarket look.

[JTR007]

I thought I might do a lil write up on this. Hope you like..
This is my first write up, so be nice haha

Things needed;

- 10mm spanner
- 10mm socket
- Flat head and Philips screw driver
- Plastic primer
- Gloss black spray paint
- Masking tape and some paper

Start by taking your head lights out, by unpluging the wire connections then using the Philips head screw driver and 10mm tools, there will be 4 nuts you need to undo and the screw for the indicator. Youll have to remove your grill to get your lights out easier.

Now you have your headlight out.

Take all the metal clips out by levering them out with a flat head screw driver.

Now start masking it off just like this;

Until its all done like this.

Now, just give a wipe over the exposed silver, then paint with plastic primer, what 5 minutes then paint with the gloss black paint.

Leave for 20 minutes the take the masking off, then should look like this..

Then put all back together. And place back into the car. Then it should look cooler,
Finished result!
