True, it will reduce visibility, that's why I didn't do the front. The taillights are fine with it since you don't have to see by the light, just someone else see them. Also I only put 1 coat on them. I just painted my headlights yesterday. That came out pretty good considering. It is a little awkward to remove the headlight lenses, then sanding and masking the main reflector is a PITA since there are alot of ridges and the curvature. They look pretty good though. I am happy with them for now.

I love the new look... and I liked how the probeams looked as well.

im still dying to know how Whistler and his buddy did theirs
btw, anyone seen the "how-to angeleyes" writeups?
they show in detail how to get the headlights open without a huge mess.....just figuring out how the lights are darkened is the mystery part for me.
i guess i could put a few light layers of Nightshade over the headlamp chrome

Its actually really easy, but if you mess it up be ready to buy new headlights.

Be patient and wait for the writeup, you don't want to experiment on expensive headlights unless you have extras. It should be up soon.
