    I have seen some trucks on here that have portions of the headlight lenses painted for an interesting custom look.
    Any tips and info on the best/easiest/most effective way to do it?
    I was thinking it might be an alternative to trying to polish out the very tops of my lenses to remove the fogging.
    Just prep the surface, mask it off, and shoot it with some radiant red touch up paint. Sound like a feasible plan?

    yeah, I saw some on there. Now, if only someone did them in chrome to match the grille surround...
