"I give it a 10.... the car's nice too!

or

Hot stuff. the car's nice too!"

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

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.
