i guess its kinda hard to do because the outside plastic will still be white and clear. only the inside chromy thing will be painted a dull grey or black. thanks for the try anywys

thanks but I think that looks more like what would happen if you just tinted the outer clear plastic.It tough to darken the inside part of the housing while retaining the look of the outside plastic piece.

yeah i knoe. i knew my request was a little far fetched. LOL. i don't want the outside painted because i don't want to block ANY LIGHT. remember i'm obsessed with lights. LOL. i got 2 SETS of HID's always on after dark. hoo hoo

do you have a light to experiment on? if not I would try and seek one out to play with.Thats a no going back kinda thing I would imagine. its hard to say which I ould go with cause I have never seen any results of what it will look like.

erasable marker huh? I am sure there is a junkyard with a first gen. GS somewhere around you that you could get a guinea pig light from?
