Yeah I like my drop in hids too. Don't get me wrong, retrofits look awesome during the day. But I don't buy headlights for the daytime...

Yes, pics in my build thread. I am sure doing it right is too much work so just spray vht over them and then get a similar or close enough result

Couldnt find it.. Did you sand down your light before painting them or did you just clean and then paint?
