you can do this to eg headlights also (using same process), but the black won't be as visible as on the ek headlights. all you can paint on the eg headlight is the ring around the main reflector. not really worth the effort i reckon. used to have them on my car till an accident broke one of em and i ended up getting projectors.

Just wanted to ask... does it actually affect ur lights? as in the projection/brightness/etc of ur headlights?

no.. not all... when u take the lights apart u ll know y... the bit that is to paint in black has nth to do with reflectin any light beam...
this is a close up pic of my DIY lights.. sorry took it with my fone... bad quality... but just so that u get the idea...
