I did the same thing when I painted mine. Not on purpose I just got side tracked and just painted the hell out of everything lol. I ended up taking them back out and using "chrome" paint. Still not the same but I do have high beems at least. It stil looks ok but I am getting another pair and doing it Evodave style. Your lights still look good though.

no fogging yet made it last night and this morning, and yes that was dumb of me to paint the high beams I wasn't even thinking about them. Oh well I might tear apart again if i'm bored one day and strip the black off the fogs and highs. hids still work great though, I taped those up.

The tint is pretty good letting light through but I decided since the headlights were so easy I'll try to tackle the tail lights black so the tint is removed and the tails cuurently have paint drying on them.
