You're getting the lights confused. I am painting the parking lights / sidemarkers, not the chrome of the head light

Those damn things looks sweet! Man, that was pretty smart by putting them in the oven. It took my ass forever w/ the freakin' hairdryer when I was doing my tail lights. They look good though!
