Painting my headlights what do you think??

[Baker1k]

Ok well im taking apart the stock headlights (bored) and going to paint them. Trying to decided if I should paint them white to match the Yukon or black. Planning on leaving the chome rings around the lights to the edge where I have the marker setting. And maybe smoking the side marker lense. What do you guys think will look the best and I already have the lights apart.

Here is our Yukon if it turns out good we may do the same with our projectors and see which one we like more.

color matched would be cool. I did black on mine

[KMeloney]

Yep, color match. That'd look awesome.

I can't tell much on the last pic but I would completely remove the orange lens.

Yeah I put them in my oven on 250 for 5mins then pulled apart with a flat blade, and still had to use a heat gun for the parts that was stuck real good

Does painting them hamper light output? or is it just aesthetics?

light output doesnt change since your not painting the reflector.

so are you just going to leave the amber reflector off? An all clear one would look good IMO, but I have no idea if they make them like that

Gotcha, thanks

You want to see one that is all chrome just without amber ls that what you are saying? I still have to paint the other one so I can snap a picture of what that would look like for you.
