Heh????...lol....Explain please!
like instead of making the reflectors a solid color you wanted it like that? or is additional sanding just needed to make it solid? That is what I meant.

Did you use regular spraypaint, nightshades? Paint the inside part of the sidemarker or just the outside? Need to know, I plan on tearing my Anzo headlights apart tomorrow and doing a smoked sidemarker with little holes to make it look like amber LEDs....polka dot basically. Did you bead silicone around the exterior of the headlight or where the OEM sealant is?

looking sweet. It would be sweeter if you have led strips on the sides.

I used the 500 degree Flat Blk engine paint....

I painted the side marker w/ the same paint!

NO extra silicone..Used the Factory seal.....

Here is a general ROUGH idea of what I am doing to mine. The white paper dots will be taped off with painters tape...while the rest of the side marker will be sprayed black. The general idea is to give off the appearance of mini amber LEDs in the side marker. Any suggestions as to which black I should use? Gloss, low-gloss, semi-gloss?





If all goes well, I hope to have these done and installed NLT Sunday.

I might have to spread the holes out a little. As most people know, when you look at the side marker illuminated it's not evenly distributed...it kind of floods one specific area and barely touches the rest.

*Updated*

Finished the sidemarker and just as I thought they were too damn dark, some of the holes were illuminated, not all. Looks like I'll be rebaking these apart tomorrow and removing the painted areas.
