    1) Anything works....
    2) Try it... If you don't like it, easy to paint black afterwards.
    3) Post pictures!

    Looks likes just the whites but a little hard to tell with lighting.

    I’d leave the reds but that’s just my option. I’m sure if you do it will look great. A little curious about output de-ratings (if applicable at all) but looks slick and a more one off one of a kind detail mod. Props for that.

    No derate. Only the PCB is painted. LED and lens are OEM.

    Makes sense. Just wondering if de/reflection output had an account or variable for this output factor.

    Hex looks awesome! Kind of glad I’ve been too busy to install. Highly likely I’ll be selling my bd4 w/ camera. If anyone is interested pm me

    The HEX9 will be much more user configurable and customizable. I plan to make inserts so you can either delete a light or convert it over to a camera for example. The best part is going to be the price. I am targeting the whole package (housing, 9 LED lights, OEM harness, etc) in the ~$200 range.

    Hell yeah!!! I would say this would complete my entire lighting set up for my truck, but who knows what the new thing will be from Meso in like two months. Just keep upgrading to new and selling the old.
    Hahahaha. That would be sweet, I think it was just the light though ;)

    What a project. Had fun with the wiring. Lining it all up was the hardest part for me. Ended up putting s bead of silicon around the whole thing to make me fell better. Love the end result

    Dreaming of the Hex9. If I’m lucky enough to grab one I’ll sell my BD5 to someone for cost. :fistbump:
