    when i was working on the saxo today i noticed there was clips holding the glass on the headlights and 2 reflective sections, has anyone sprayed the headlights in the inside like they do to mk2 teardrop headlights??

    ive searched on the site but cant find any

    does it if done affect the headlights effectivness??

    didn't think of that! lol it's easier on the mk2, because it's pretty much on the outside. lol

    true looks cleaner but smoked would go with the black/yellow theme
