Decided to open them and paint the chrome piece and add better LEDs.
First I stripped it Dow

looks good, i was thinking that if you cut out the shelf below the turn signal it would look so much better. but as is looks better than anyother set i have seen to date

Out of curiosity how's the light output now with the turn signal reflectors painted?

Doesn't affect it at all, mine are painted black and you can see the bulb just fine.

I was thinking the same thing. Why not bring the car to your house? That's where I keep mine...

I keep mine in the garage = peace of mind

I don't like either way personally but I think that's because I dislike those headlights they look cheap.

its different man.. I hope that if you try to keep it that way you will still have the full adjustments like the OEM.

I also agree that you need to swap the old ones back on until you can move the car out of there...

I also don't like how those depos look because of that reason.

But I'd say that the new set you are working on looks better than the ones on the car.
