I went with a different route with this headlight mod.

I didn't do any sanding with this one. I just sprayed windex to clean the chrome areas, then some Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter clear primer and ultra black paint.

I used the same painting process with my current headlights and they have held up well.

I left a chrome trim on the side and bottom of the housing just to match it up with the rest of my truck's chrome trim.

Also, I went a little bit further with painting the housing. I also painted the floor of the inner chrome housing, the convex wall between the highs and lows and a little bit around the high beam housing.

By painting these areas, I'm hoping to reduce some of the glare produced by HID kits.
