    I'd scuff the housings then use some paint prep enhancer stuff for plastic. Then prime and paint.

    Question for anyone who blacked out their turn signal reflectors....Do they still seem as bright as before when they were chrome? I like the blacked out look but am kinda worried about brightness and annual inspections and such.

    Obviously not,

    Chrome reflects more light than when blackout.

    But what u can do is swap ur bulb for a led brighter one. With this ull gain more brightness than the stock one

    So how should the shroud fitment be on the projector? My panamera shrouds won't go on far enough for the clips to engage the holes on the D2S 4.0 projector. It's like the shroud needs a bigger hole in the centre so the whole projector can fit through the opening.

    In the second pic you can see how the clip doesn't quite reach the hole in the projector. All 6 are about the same. Well, except for the one that I broke off already. :frusty:

    Wow wtf. I see what you are saying now. I know with mine I had to push really hard for them to lock around the ring I had to get. Almost to the point where I felt like I was going to break my shroud. But at that point I was like fuck it because I was tired of the project. I broke one of my tabs as well.
    Hopefully someone has better advice than that though

    Should the shroud be going on further though? I feel like it's obstructing the outer edge of the projector lens.

    Yeah Im running H1s. I put the ring on the projector and snapped them into place as well as in the projector. Still a pain to squeeze them in there, but of course it's supposed to be a good tight fit
