here they are with the lights installed. I'm thinking of scuffing the bezels to give them a flat look as well, what do you guys think? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Another exterior mod in progress, along with 3s-gte swap (which is taking to long

I had thought about the clear turn, but am unable to find one I like. Still a possibility tho!

they are actually from a trailer or semi truck site. I wanted to make custom lights but would have ended up costing a lot more.

That is exactly how I did it. Alot of time and patience.

Nice work man! Well worth the hard work.
For sure IMO you should brush the bezels, if you could brush them in a circular pattern that would look amazing, Like a watch bezel

I would leave the bezels and paint the lights with gloss black not matt black. (unless you're gonna make the full car matt black that is.)
but looks good mate, looked like you were moulding them out of mashed potato in the first picture haha.
