I am a little envious at the way our PCX looks without the "Shrek ear" turn signals, but here in the US I am stuck with em.
But I can do something about the headlight assembly. I was never a fan of the "Dame Edna" look, so I blacked it out with semi-gloss black.
This was a quick & dirty blue masking tape and rattle-can job. I am just sharing the pics in case anyone else was wondering how it looked.

But now it looks more like Dame Edna. Am I missing something?

2yous, you make a good point. Slick, take a look again at the black bling wings on the very funny Dame Edna's specs. See what we see? Funny how that happened heh? I kinda like the new blacked out look. Why not? It's dead space anyway. Good idea.
Did you use Krylon Fushion spray paint? I have a few house projects that paint could tidy up.

Of coarse you could have done a JDM conversion by putting the turn signals back to where they were designed to be. The part you painted black was where the turns are for the rest of the world. This isn't the only scoot to suffer from the crazy DOT turn signal rules. The new Yamaha SMax is just as bad or maybe worse.

Not true - you could add the USA turn signals!
