    Good question. It didn't noticeably affect my beam/signal output so I wouldn't think so. One quick tip: If you use Krylon Fusion, be gentle on reassembly. It takes a long time to fully cure (7 days per instructions). If you rub them on reassembly, it will chip! :cool: Other than that, it's easy and well worth they style points.

    crap bolted and welded together....
    when i did mine, i just used just plain plastic flat black spray paint. No sanding is required, also since it doesnt affect the light output of the headlight your inspection should go just fine. If your at all worried about the inspection, tape off the blinker area so its still chrome so it will remain stock. (i mean as bright as the blinker can be with no mod)

    I wanna do the BHLM so bad but have not had the time lately...I also live on the 3rd floor of my apartment so I don't have many places to do the prep and paint.

    I just got a new OEM set of headlights because the old ones got cracked on the DTRL lens from the heat.

    Hey BulletToothTony I live in Houston, do you think you can give me a hand if I take a trip down to Huntsville? :rolleyes:
