I bet that you get about half as much light as you had before. It proably looks sweet in the day, but you'll be sorry you did it when you can't see anything at night. The chrome is shiny for a reason, it reflects light. Black absorbs light! But I would like to see pics, maybe it's worth it?

I only painted the outer edges.
Who'd ever thought that if you paint the inner chrome would affect the headlight reflection??? duh.

i took the pictures yesterday and i just need to scan them. i'll post it soon.
