you should polish them up. you get a more factory look that way. i think your supposed to also lightly sand them with a very fine grit, then polish. looks good nice job

Yeah, you'll get more gloss if you wet sand them, but be real careful not ta press down to hard or stay in one place for an extended period of time, otherwise you'll have some spots look glossy, and others look dull. Also think about using tha left over Niteshades to tint the inside bezels of your headlights too. I like the way mine turned out, and to me, it really makes the car look "sportier"... it's just a thought.

Yeah they come apart into three seperate pieces...all you'll have to do is soften the glue that holds the clear plastic lens to the black plastic backing. I put mine in the oven to heat them up. Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds...some people like the look, others don't, some smoke the turn signals like I did, others don't. It's your car, customize it anyway you want to. I just thought I'd throw that idea out to ya.

225 degrees for 8-10 minutes each. Just remember ta put some aluminum foil on top of the tray so that tha plastic bezel doesn't melt. You seal them up the same way as well once you're done...
