OK, that looks pretty good

I don't think I've seen anyone black out the lenses before ...

My headlights are actually brighter now, I didn’t black out the lenses I just blacked out the housing. I switched out my stock projectors because my passengers side was pretty much burnt out. Now my hids are fully light up, that’s why I went into my headlights in the first place because my projectors were messed up. But yeah my headlights are actually 3x brighter than before now.
