sounds like oxidation. i had the same thing. meguairs(sp?) plastix (sp?) will get rid of that and make them look brand new.

headlights look good. and a california girl we need more girls to go to the BIG NorCal and SoCal meet. check out the cali forums....

Thanks for all the compliments! It does look hella clean with the stock headlights.

All in all, it probably took just 2 days. 1 day to take them apart, clean and paint, the 2nd day to put them back together... but the thing is, i was too excited to start so i took them apart without having all the necessary supplies, like paint.. But then when the paint came it was done in no time at all.

I've got Konig Imagines... 17's.. I got the powdercoated black a little while ago.
I'm actually looking to get rid of them.

They're generic projectors. They worked fine for me... no problems really.. i think one of the led's has a bad connection tho...
I still have them and i wanna get rid of those too.
