We all know lots of folks love going with the BHLM because it looks so clean, gets rid of the gaudy chrome (personal opinion), and is a fairly inexpensive mod (before any retrofitting and such). But I'm curious if anyone has added any personal touches that go against the norm such as colored accents here and there.

To be exact I'm curious if anyone has painted the grill in front of DRL/blinker (not the grill below light that MESO makes a filler for) a color other than black, while still leaving rest of the housing blacked out. Same question, but in regards to the "L" shape that newer trucks use for the LED DRL. I don't have the LED DRLs, but just curious if anyone has color matched that area to the truck before.

I've seen folks paint the entire housing a different color, most recent one was someone local color matching entire housing Super White, looked nice. Just curious about "different" touches you creative folks have done to your housing while they were opened. Pics are very much welcomed, for creative planning. Thanks in advance guys!
