Teaser LCI2 Diy Black/Gray out

Im of the school that believes chrome has no place on a headlight(though I will never black out the actual inner bezels for the headlight beams.)
Decided to open these up, and change the upper chrome led eyebrow area to satin black, and the matte chrome trim around the beam bezels are now gunmetal.
Waiting on delivery of a new set of oem lenses, as the lights that I sourced had wha seemed like about 10k of pitting, and I want to have the equivalent of a new pair of headlights.

I just got mine redone and I'm loving it. I body colored most of mine and went with M color side markers and blacked out insides and added color changing demon eyes

Wow, that’s impressive! I did mine a couple months ago, just went with a mix of satin and gloss black.

Looks great! I was looking at those x shape demon eyes, but looks like bavgruppe or bayoptiks not selling them without their diy service.

Opening these housings is absolutely trash because of Permaseal. E9X lights and their butyl sealing are an absolute dream in comparison.

I did the same combo on my original led's. I love them, but on these 2's going to try breaking up the black with the gray.
