Lookin good, the only thing I would recommend is removing the eyelids. They will make your headlights start having spider cracks.

it called Plasti Dip, i did not remove the emblems, if you look up on Youtube ppl post alot of videos how to do it, it really simple. Man if you live in TX ill do it for you for free

I'd highly recommend removing the eye lids. Like aforementioned, they will create spider cracks in your lenses.

It's due to the different temperatures, the headlight cover will expand and contract unevenly causing it to crack.
