Thanks. I used plexi glass, oven, dremel, and jig saw. Used the How-To article as a guide.

I did the same thing. They seemed too bright. I am gonna try with something other than plexi glass.
The plexi glass I got from Home Depot for $1.99 for a 12" by 18" sheet. Latin, did you use tape or did you paint the gray/silver around the edges ? -------------------- |

I used silver paint for the edges. This post has been edited by LatinKraze: Jun 2, 2004 - 11:23 AM |

No offense but I don't like them. You did a really good job on them but they just don't look professional. I made 1 of mine they looked the same just not quite as neat, and decided to just buy some 93's. I'll post a pic of them as soon as I get a camera which will be soon hopefully.

No offense taken. Let me know how the 93's look and if you could, please post a pic so I can see them. Thanks for the comment.

did you have to paint that much silver as a border, or did you just want to?

I redid mine. I used regular "office lighting material" and they came out ok...kinda of a hack job though. I think I am gonna tear these up and try something new. I am thinking of cutting the housing and making the lense more recessed into the bumper
