Now that the paint is dry and has had time to cure overnight it was time to put my motorized headlight assemblies back into the front of the car. For right now they are just bolted back in finger tight so I can do any adjustments to them once my Turbo Hood, and front nose are installed onto the car. Once that is all done I'll replace the headlight bulbs and bezels. The bezels I still need to perhaps trim but I'm not there yet, gotta see how things are fitting first.

Headlight Assemblies Back In
Now that the paint is dry and has had time to cure overnight it was time to put my motorized headlight assemblies back into the front of the car. For right now they are just bolted back in finger tight so I can do any adjustments to them once my Turbo Hood, and front nose are installed onto the car.

Headlight bays painted
Finally got around to priming and painting the headlight bays. I gave the whole area a good going over with my drill using a wire brush tip to scuff up the painting surface real good before priming. Cleaned up the surface with some rubbing alcohol and a quick going over with the tac cloth just to catch any particles of dust that might be still there. So now I'll be able to reinstall my motorized headlight assemblies. I won't put the headlights or the bezels in just yet as it will make it difficult putting the front nose on and I still need good access to those areas where the bolts attach the front nose to the fenders. I'll also probably need to still run some wires for either my existing turn signals or some after market turn signals so even though I'm anxious to get my headlamps up and running again for now I'll make do with the headlamp motorized assemblies back in place, putting the bulbs and bezels back in will be no biggie later on.
While I was painting I decided to give the front nose support plate another coat of paint too after giving it a good cleaning with some rubbing alcohol.
