i like it, it's better looking than stock for sure. but if the lines were delined it would look more pronounced and i think it'd look even better.

exactly the same as if it weren't painted. The only thing that loses brightness when you do this are the turn signals (if you even paint that part) and the parking/city light.

im not really a fan of the delined look, i wish my lenses were more clear but oh well, on the drivers side one, i forgot to put the city light bulb cover thing back in so i feel kinda stupid but im too tired to take it all apart again so i guess it can wait lol. and ya the light output is the same as it was before(maybe better cause i followed O.L.T.'s writeup about polishing the projector lens). im pretty sure im going to disconnect the city lights though cause they just look retarded and the projectors do just fine by themselves thanks for looking guys

would look better had you delined it and with clear lenses too. It was this reason why I opted to do it to a new set of headlights rather than my old cloudy ones.

Is there a way to black out the highbeams too? It looks weird when they don't match.
