So for the inner headlight "lense", I took a piece of transparent foil, scratched lines for details using a ruler, cropped the foil to match the shape of the inner healdight fixture, and sticked the foil on it using super glue. Also, I have added some plastic bits inside the inner healights fixture to give the details of some bulb inside. Here's the process:

Uh-oh.. Not looking good.
I seems like the inner headlight starts to fog-up because of the superglue.  The overall shape seems fine, but this is one unneeded obstacle. I think I will just leave it to set up untill tomorrrow to see what is going to happen. Sorry for the bad pictures as of recently, I just changed the camera. Some pictures attached about this messed up situation:

DISASTER!
 The inner headlights are now all fogged up. They are basically destroyed. I will try and see if I can salvage them, instead of making the fixtures again... To do so I will have to surgically-like run a blade between the lense and the fixture to disattach them, This is what happens when you use cheap super glue like I did...

I have managed to salvage the inner headlights fixtures. The lenses are now ruined, but the superglue reinforced the fixtures.
Moral of the story: Don't use cheap superglue.

Just made the lenses again, and I have attached it to the fixture this time using transparent tape, wiped the air bubbles, so that you won't even see the presence of the scotch tape. Again an unneeded additional effort, but you all know that with papercraft it is trial and error.

The turn signals are complete too. Not a lot of pictures on these as they were a real pain (...) to make, so I just wanted to have them done already. I am glad actually that I have managed to make them already. I don't want to see and work on them anymore. As usual, the plastic film is scratched for detailing, obviously recycled materials.

Big step
Should I afford the arrogance of saying the the headlights are now complete and functional?

Are you going to do the same with the rear lights?
