    I do love my gray when I order it but I always love to change color after I get used to regular color thats why I try to do something easier than repaint

    Well, then you've picked the perfect color because WGM is a chameleon. Sometimes looks gray, sometimes black and sometimes purple.

    At least until they invent a paint that changes color on demand (a la Total Recall).

    If Darth Vader drove a Prius, that would be it... Thanks for sharing Robert. I like the look of that matte black.

    May I ask how did you take out the orange lens on the side? Did you disassemble the whole housing, remove/cut out the yellow lens and put it back together?

    How long did it take you to do one side?

    Do you consider simple or difficult task?

    Thanks

    My friend was using heatgun to melt the glue around the housing and it tooks like 2 hours for one side, LEDs and black out only took us 20 mins, I think if you use oven will be a little faster but also you might melt your whole headlight faster too :) I wont say its easy it only takes sometimes and patient

    Stop by the shop pnut will see what I can help you

    17x8 +38 you will have extend 7mm out for me its fine, what size tires you are going to run?? your rims will be stick out a little bit so you should run smaller size to clear your fender

    About LEds I use VARAD ILK-WH AMAZON selling them for $21.95 there should a lot of places carry them for better price

    drunkin master, this mod is not hard to do, you can try it, my friend is cant do it due to his work and new born sorry about that
