So how did i do it for $0???

Using electrical tape that dad had hidden in the depths of the garage. I have no idea how long it will last until it fades or melts but only time will tell

black bars on the top of the parkers. normally the lights run into the body work and it looks bad. (some beofre shots probably woud have helped)

Hmm, even that little bit makes it look so much better. Now you have to find out how to make it a bit more permanent.

Pick up a roll of pin stripe vinyl and some prepsol, test the prepsol (it's a cleaning agent) on a small area of the plastic lenz.
You can try different spacings and effects on the front and rear lamps.
