Default What type of Headlight Mod is this?

This is a photo posted my another member and the mod was done by Musicbox. I find these headlights rather appealing. Was wondering what is done to get them like this and if anyone has an idea of Tommy's charge is for this mod. Thanks you.

the headlight/foglight housings were painted black, you have to remove all four of the housings, heat them up till the glue gives away, separate the housings, then paint the inner chrome, then seal back up and hope you just didnt ruin 2k headlights. as far as price idk

Bake and open the headlights. Then paint the chrome matte black.

Ahhh...I see. I did read a couple of threads regarding leaking headlights and that was without any mods so I can imagine its not easy to do well. Thank you.

Blacked out headlights a nd foglights. It'll cost you around 300 something from Tommy. I recommend taking it to him
