You should have renamed the thread to "black out hand teaser."

Let's see everything reassembled!

Dude you blacked out the reflectors for the high beam AND the turn signals? o_O That might be a tad extreme. If I were to DIY this I was considering trying out some of the new black chrome paint I've seen floating around. Either that or even a glossy application of VHT niteshades/Vans JDM tint spray would have been a nicer touch without completely sacrificing functionality.

Oh pshaw. You can't call that rice. You have that on your tail lights too! Lol. And It would just be used on the high beam and turn signal reflectors to give it that darker look while still allowing light to reflect off of it as intended by the manufacturers. (Not that using tint spray over flat black paint is that much better of an application).

But yeah, whatever floats your boat I guess. Lol. Don't be blinding oncoming traffic now!

Put them on the damn car already!!

I'm trying to decide whether to use VHT to tint the eyebrows and leaving the space underneath them silver so they'll still look dark but the LED's will still reflect off the silver enough to light up the whole eyebrow instead of just having a couple white dots...

yeah I know, but I'd rather have an even dim color than two spots, but I'm excited to see what yours looks like at night now (do you have a before picture?). When you putting them on?

After you took apart the headlight housing, was it easy taking apart the individual parts where you painted in your first post? Want to paint mines too but I'm only painting some of it to make it look oem.

Thanks for the quick response. No I'm good, I'm capable of doing it myself. Like I said, I want to paint the parts that the factory has painted in the new 2011 headlights for the oem look. Thanks for the offer though Hope you get your car back soon.

I personally would have not painted the reflectors as that takes away function, but all the power to you on the DIY.
