Thank you very much!!! I've seen chrome headlights replaced with clear lenses, but not how they drilled the chrome hl out. I tried to figure out how to center a drill so precisely. The method you demonstrated makes much more sense. Again I say thank you!!!

@davidparsleyscustomscaleemerge You can always test it on a spare kit first. I have a little suction cup tool that I got for handling windshields -- Micro Mark? -- and it's great for gripping lenses.

Here's How I Correct Chrome Headlights Problem ! I use Silly Putty Pressed over original Headlight Lenses to Make a Reverse Mold to recast them on Clear 5 minute Epoxy by Filling Silly Putty & Allowing it to Dry 12-24 hours Next I droll out Chrome Headlights & Do Clean up for the Back of Headlights I use Foil Pie Tin & punch out Round pieces of it using Harbor Freight Round Punch Set select Slightly Larger than Hole then Make it Slightly Domed & Glue on From Back of Grille Next flip grille over & Install Clear Epoxy Lenses

Do you ever use MV lenses instead of your jewelry lenses? You can drill them from behind and fill it with silver to simulate the bulb. You're definitely right -- you can't leave those chrome headlights intact, a holdover from the promo days (hence the screw mounts).

You can paint them silver first, or burnish on some aluminum foil, then use the clear yellow/red Tamiya paint.
