    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.

          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.

                                Ugh, I just tried to do the bumper lights, I put them in the oven at 225 for like 10 minutes, they wouldn't come apart
