There are car makes that come with Yellow beams integrated. Lots of european models do. When I got inspected, the guy asked about the headlights and I told him that the car was brought from Germany by a soldier in the Army, which in turn I bought from him. I passed inspection.

Is any familiar with r/c paint used 2 paint r/c car plastic body, can this paint be used .and on a scale from 1-10 , 1being easy & 10being hard , how hard or easy is it to do this DIY. I'm gonna buy new lights on the weekend and try this but i wanna get the paint and there is a hobby shop in my area that's y i asked about the r/c paint being used..... BTW.... All u guys who did this DIY and posted pix they all look good

I would say a 5 on a scale of one to ten. I say this because the only hard part about the DIY is the masking of the headlights. If you take your time masking, then you shouldn't have problems. Good luck with your mod and post pics for all to see and forget to rate the tread. If you have any questions PM me. As for the R/C paint, as long as it isn't water based, it should be okay.
