Just off topic for a quick second, but I still reckon it needs the silver headlight bezels painted white to complete that exterior "TL50" look

no it wont.. it only takes 15mins for me to get the 3rd pic..

and also, two sets is hell easy... i have one now


edit: Kris, white ties it in to complete the entire look, but is a bit bland.. Black would look good with a few other tiny black highlights
