Just paint the interior of the headlight. It looks dark, but still retains all its brightness.

my personal pref is to keep some yellow in there like JB.

You know he just forgot to put in clear corners, not that it looks bad this way. I guess it isn't enough of a "problem" to warrant popping them open again.

I ask you the same.. whats wrong with yellow? hehe
I am going to try to see how tinting them will look (from inside the headlight, on top of reflector).
I am still waiting for my extra HL to come from CA. Sorry to jack thread, but it will be posted when I do them.

Never said anything was wrong with the yellow. Once again, JB forgot about making it clear, so I thought it would be best not to bring it up and remind him of his error in case it still haunts him.

John and I both totally forgot about it so we just snapped the amber reflectors back in-I don't mind them THAT much. and i am getting a pair of the mirror bulbs. I like a bit of yellow. I hate that my DTRL are a blue bulb that glow whitsh though; i want to put LEDs in but so many ppl have problems....I hate looking at myheadlights and seeing blue, clear and orange. I wanna see clear, clear and clear from the front :-P
and ash, you know we are twins

Wow Ash, little late to the party. And what do you mean by "he didn't forget.....he forgot"? I said he forgot to do it and since they were already sealed no point in redoing it all.

hey... i said i was late.... and if you like the orange reflector but still want it blacked out... you can do what i did to my first set of headlights... its a perforated sticker (came in white, i painted it black) and slap that over the reflector. as the sticker lives inside a bubble.. free from the outside elements... itll never peel off or fade.

if youve got the hids in the projector and just run a standard clear bulb in the blinker.. it appears yellowish compared to the hid but still isnt orange...
