Those look great. I just have one question. Does painting the headlights like that hurt light output at all?

My entire windshield is tinted so I need all the help I can get but I have HID's in my fogs too... even with that though, it's not too bad at night.

I was going to ask you if the front windshield was tinted but wasn't sure if it was because the car was in the shade. I'm sure it gets very hot for you in AZ in the summer. LOL
