hey, i realized that painting the headlight housing black does make it harder to see at night. i drive alot in the dark and it got a little harder to see, so i think im gonna get some PIAA bulbs and see the difference.
really? because when i got the black cedia headlights, i was running on stock sylvania bulbs, not silverstars, and they were giving me the same light output.. probably even more. now i dont know if it is because h1 bulbs are really bright or my headlights were just angled high, but i was able to see more than stock. now if anyone's worried about decreased light output, just go jump over to the HID bandwagon like me!

all i did was put them in the oven at 250 degrees for about 8 minutes...that loosened the glue enough to pull apart using a flathead screwdriver to pry parts....just take your time...
