Blacked out headlights?

[PG01]

so i blacked out the truck but headlites (and rims too but ill deal for now) are bothering me, i dont want anything other then stock look and output but with less chrome inside. Ive been eyeballing amazon, ebay etc,. Do you guys have any ideas, suggestions, better brands, companys, vendors, member? I read thru some posts and the

stickys for headlites but no real mention of it that i saw....No hids, retrofits or any of that stuff, no tinted lens just less chrome inside the housing. Cn i pop it apart and plastdip inside or not a good idea? Thanks fellas

Your headlights housing looks black already... if u black out the inside shinny chrome parts your light output will be weak.

I really like these headlights and they are stockish looking to me. Would give the truck a nice look.

Thanks and yes, I understand not around or near the bulb itself but the outside outer ring of the projector and the amber side marker is what im talking about

Ok how about i get smoked headites and fogs and put better bulbs in so the output is same as stock. Is there a better bulb?

i know these arent the smartest questions but i dont know much about lighting and i cant stand being blinded by oncoming traffic so i dont want to do it to anyone else.

Help please.

Your grill looks nice! How did you black it out?

I think your best bet is to get some cheap depos or whatever and paint everything but the reflectors like you said. Then keep the oe ones jic.. ive actually thought of doing this myself now but with my truck color instead of black.

I actually bought it and the bowties from ebay, i didnt want to hassle with painting/plastidip and i needed to do it quick so the wife didn't realize.....kids blew me up anyway....'daddy, why does the truck look different?'

Kids always ruining daddy's evil plans lol

One option is get smoke vinyl dark wrap/tint and only wrap the turn signal section on bottom and the side reflector. Don't cover the headlight part. That would black out most of the light.
Or you can spray paint tint it too, but more permanent.

If you can find something like these for a NNBS they would look pretty good Depo makes them the quality and light output is great
