Painted HID headlight housing (DIY) yea, i finally did it...
#33
I keep getting PMs about doing this for people.. Id probably be willing to do it for cheap if you supplied the paint, but Id be worried about something happening and by some chance, a light cracking. Im fine doing it on my own lights, but Id hate to slip and suddenly I owe someone a 500 dollar light.
I still have one more light to do on mine, if everything goes smoothly again, which im sure it will, ill try and figure out a way to help some people out with theirs.

updated pics!
Next step might eventually be angel eyes.
UPDATED PICS- FINISHED!
Word of advice on this DIY, spray over your matched paint with high temp clear engine paint (5.99 at autozone) I was having a problem with the paint melting a tiny bit inside the bezels, and leaving a layer of paint fumes on the inside of the lens. This 500 degree gloss solved that problem...and theyre watertight, they sat out in a rainstorm last night
enjoy
I definitely need to get stealth bulbs now huh
