I take it back, leaving the lens alone looks good. I may have to do this! Did you say you had some leds behind the shrouds? Whats that look like?

I just installed a set of retrofits on my stang yesterday, they are off my cousins stang that he is selling. Mine have a painted reflector, and they definitely look different. I wish they wouldn't have painted it

Yeah, they are UV, ill try and get some pics. I need to test fit them and lign up the projectors so the light has the appropriate cut off.

I just ordered some tinted lens covers for the fogs along with LED bulbs. Hopefully that will clean up the look. I need new turn signals too.

Dam that would look bad ass. I'm going to have the whole car repainted soon. I may just do that while its it's in the shop.

Ah I remember seeing those. Weren't those on a light blue car?

They will look much better silver. But I'm not a fan of those shrouds.

Yea the unpainted looks much better, but the others would probably look better with the different shroud.

Yea I want to see the finished product. I cropped that last pic onto my headlight and it didn't look so great on my front. Looks good right there though.

Testing lights. The shroud is not full mounted that's why the angle of it looks funny . It was just dangling z

update... long overdue.

they will be installed tonight - also flipped around the projector, it was upside down.

unfortunately we decided to paint the reflector bowl black - due to reflection of wires showing., but the shroud is still chrome (hard to tell in the pic)
