I was removing the lense from my projector and the heat messed up the chrome finish on the side part so I am looking for pictures of projector headlights (stock ones) blacked out.. something like this..
![]() or more like this since my car is red and will stay red (or maybe black) I don't know if I want to do it, just thought I'd look into it. I don't want the glass tinted, but the housing painted. here is what happened and why i am seeking the pics..

the silicone seal gave out in mine and ruined the chrome plating. i did a bit of searching and if you paint the shoud with chrome paint you won't get the same finish as the original. you'll need to have the shrouds vacuum plated. there's only one place in Canada that does it and i got mine sent there. cost me $300 CDN to do both sides but in the end they turned out great and about 99% of the original finish quality.
