I thought that as I was looking at them a bit more closely. I'm going to be splitting mine in the next few weeks to remove some dead flies and a spider web lol, might have to paint them while I'm at it now I've seen yours. Is there no tint at all on the lens?
What paint did you use on them? Did you put them in the oven before you separated them? And did you use anything to reseal them? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a complete noob to most of this but trying to be a bit more hands on and learn as I go along. Was going to get some butyl tape to reseal mine but don't know if this is nessecary.
Just noticed mine are already black on the inside, might still grove them a coat of paint and do the outer chrome ring of the lamps just to black it out that bit more.
I sanded down the chrome inserts, then primered them and then just used some Matt black spray paint from halfords. I didn't oven them before incase I melted something lol, just used a heat gun, flathead screwdriver and a Stanley knife and resealed Them with black silicone and them left them to dry... but leave the bits you have painted to dry before putting them back togeather
I've got to split them anyway to clean them up inside and was originally going to tint them but yours has made me think twice. It gives the same sort of stealth look as the tints but without reducing light output, winner winner chicken dinner!! Did they seal back together strong using the silicone to seal them? I was reading that you had to either use the butyl tape that should already be on the headlight if it's any good but if not clean it off and get some more butyl tape and re seal it.
I think it's not to bad tbh, bit bumpy on crappy roads but it seems a lot more planted going around corners... I have heard very good things about the eibach sportlines... you keeping standard shocks or uprated ones?
