Hey guys. I have Jeremy doing a set of lights for me. All I'm doing is popping out the reflector no projectors. I have been tossing around the idea of painting the reflector white so there are no holes from where the tabs on the reflector were, and hopefully achieving the similar look as clear. I think he is doing them this weekend so I am trying to make up my mind quick so I don't hold him up. Here is a quick rendering i did with paint. What do you guys think do white or just go all clear?

Have the painter mist it, it will still show a little light but will be white.

Just replied to your email. :D

Honestly............I'd leave 'em out. The holes aren't that noticable when you are more than 2" away from the light. :D

out

I understand where you were coming from, but I think the holes are so small as to be a non-issue and the white would actually stand out like a sore thumb.

Cool. :D

Oddly enough, the cores I'm using.......came from a white 2011 truck too! :D Got 'em opened up, amber removed from the bezels. Just need to get rid of all of the glue (which takes me the longest), then do my double seal on them!

They look awesome I love em', thanks. I cant wait to get them on. I have a set of chrome bulbs already, this way when I got the lights I could put it all in at once.
