06+ projectors aren't affected because the light passes solely through the glass dome.

You'll be fine.



Reminds me, I need to put a post up in the marketplace. These headlights are for sale.
Are the headlights painted all the way to the reflector? Or did you leave the chrome leading to reflector unpainted?

It comes out a lot better if you paint them all the way.
