Any update on this?

Advans what kind of headlight do you have? When your lights are off you can see a multicolor shade on them? Is that a film of some type or just as they are?

He actually painted the chrome shroud black. He did this for another member also in white (astropat). It's pretty good work. There are a couple threads floating around, I'll see if I could find them.

Gary, you're killing me with those headlights. If I can't take them off your hands, we might have to do it on my lights.

i am actually referring to the slight tint you have on the lenses not the interior.
the search feature doesnt seem to work on the forum right now but i have seen it on the thread where you were selling your front bumper.
I only seen that tint on two type of headlights. Yours and a guy who owns a black SL AMG and black E AMG and that colors shows on the SL

did you do it all black?? ive thought of doing that but was wondering if it would affect how far you can see with your headlights... becuase not having anything to reflect off of? dont really know how to word it, but do you kinda get what im saying?
