That's my other(other other) car...smoked headlights, and one of those tinted license plate covers. That's Toyota paint on my 70 Cougar, I figured the Yaris(or "YARDOG" as I like to call it) is like my mini Cougar, what it lacks in power it makes up in gas mileage.

I went ahead and did some work on the headlight last night...I had some work to do on the bumper anyways so I went ahead and took the lights apart while I was at it and painted part of the internals.

It was a lot of work for such a small detail, but I had time to spare so I didn't mind.

BTW, that's what 450,000 miles looks like on paint...I'm going to swap that hood out with a CF one from Garm somewhere down the line.

How many of those miles have been with the lowered stance?

If you don't mind, can you re-take this photo with the new headlight treatment? I'd like to see what the overall effect is.

Only a couple of hundred, that's the day after I installed the springs and drove 200 miles(to work). I just bought the car about three weeks ago.

Sure, sorry for the quality it's my phone.

Thank you. I wanted to tie the headlights in somehow, I even contemplated masking and smoking the section I painted from the top side but the amount of time it would have taken to make them both perfect would have been overboard. I couldn't get myself to smoke them completely because I don't want to lose any power from the headlights(I drive at night a lot). It took a fair amount of time to do it right, but I think it was just enough to make them(headlights) not stick out like a sore thumb, and bring the black theme all the way through...I'm pretty happy with it.
