props to you for doing this... but i think it breaks up the overall flow of the front with only the headlight portion blacked out... for some reason, the daytime part just breaks the flow with such a big chrome reflector. maybe try to retrofit another projector housing in there to use as fogs... then the whole headlight could be blacked out...

i agree with you 100%, we said the same thing but we were too lazy so we just left it alone, maybe another day though
