I took my lights out for now due to a bad ballast. Going to do a few things to them this spring. I'll keep you all updated when I reinstall.

I just used black satin krylon on the reflector bowls on mine. Tinted them just enough.

I would imagine they would look good. Not sure I have seen the turns with LED in them.

I'm pretty sure the front turn is more like a heavy duty window tint. Not sure on the reflectors.

Here is a pic of the work he does. He does them in light and dark, I went dark.
