No, sorry I do not have any other pics but light output is not affected with a 6K HID kit. The lights will be for sale soon if you are interested??

No thanks. I already have mine on the car and was going to paint over them yellow instead of black.

Finally got around to painting headlights today. I think it looks better like this. I got my paint in a spray can and the match is pretty much spot on. Put on 3 coats of clear.

Not the best pics but these will do for now.

I went ahead and painted my side air ducts while I was at it.

DO NOT USE the nozzle on the can they send with it. It shoots out the nozzle like a water hoze.. I have to sand off and repaint the headlights atfer I swapped the nozzle of a plasti dip can.

Going through my notes "lose headlight weight" and "lose hood hinge weight" still havent been addressed.

And depending how long his car has been in the shop, the lights sound barely used

Quick, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, your car looks great! I can't stand tacky decals, unnecessary add ons, and bad paint scheme's...what you have is simple and yet visually effective! Nicely done
