a few more pictures. the second one shows how to remove the puddle lamps. it is just a little easier if u remove the mirror, but it's not necessary. i just tilted it like in the picture, and pull the plastic trim back just enough to pull the lamp down.

Nice, I personally did not do that. What I did was open them up and painted the chrome insert in black just like my headlights.

It darkened them up and I did not lose any light output.

The do look better all black but I dont want to lose light.

i went through ur gallery to check out how ur puddle lamps turned out. it's an improvement, but i still like the tint better. maybe now that u have the inside painted black, a light coat of nightshade might be enough for a darker look without dimming ur lights too much.

i'll take some night time pics tonight, although i don't have any stock pics to compare them to.

well if u want them to look really nice u probably need to sand them down and spray clear coat over the nightshade.

Looks really good! Any plans to paint the headlights black or anything?

no.... headlights r bad enough. I was thinking about doing the fog lamps, but i don't really want to dim them at all.

I have a night time video. i'll post the link when it's uploaded to youtube

it took me a while to upload the video, but here it is. i tried to get video of the white LED's but for some reason they didn't show well. but they still light up the door area.
