    clean off the actual clear plastic with some windex or something first. When I did them they were pretty dirty and I was afraid of baking dead bugs in to them.

    While we wait for an update:

    i was kinda thinking of doing the BHLM but with how my truck is, i dont think it would look as good.. has anyone done a light gray or anything like that? I think for my truck, black would stand out..

    I havent seen grey done, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Plus if you dont like it you can always change it.

    Very true. But then you could find someone who is too scared to try it and trade them lights. I am kinda in the same boat as you, but I think I will give it a shot when things warm up a bit more.

    i would like to just get rid of the colored lenses inside the lights (ClearHLM), but i don't like the BHLM on white.

    i just haven't got the guts to do it yet.

    If thats your truck in your avatar, definitely do it!!!! I got my encouragement to do it because I was obsessed with a red Tacoma that had it done. Looks 1000x better imo :cool:
