I would either clear out the lens or keep the original lens. Then use spray paint the inner housing where the outter lines is. So it has that black housing look to it.

you can pay the guys that did it to my car I have to warn you though; this process took entirely too long; it really wasn't easy / cheap. PM me if you want to know the total bill The process started in 10/07, and I got the finished product back in 4/08.

I like the fog setup, looks good as a full package with the other lights. Very nice.

Anybody ever black out there stock highbeams? I removed my front bumper to repaint and figured I would black out the high beams to match the lows. It looks pretty simular to the low beams except glass instead of plastic. Probably could do it in a fraction of the time it takes to do the low beams. Plus I would rather have the original glass high beams instead of cheap plastic.

I wonder what the halo on the highbeam with that setup would look like instead of on the lowbeam, kind of like the '98+ daytime lights.
