Honestly, I just took them out and gave them to my body shop to do a medium paint on 'em. Basically a clear coat with a little black mixed in, I think 3 passes.

My Brother in law did this to his audi A6 xenon headlights, and it kind of messed them up, i mean it looks good from the side during day time, but at night the xonon blue bacame very dark white color, and it became very hard to see in dark while driving, So keep this in mind if anyone wants to do this to headlights, Originally Posted by calcul8

that's a very good point, and a perfect example of why it should not be done to headlights but instead to side markers and to taillights.Originally Posted by maliy06

i opted to black out the headlight housings as opposed to the actual lenses, so light output and dispersal remains unaffected, but i still get the benefit of having modded the lights.
