Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Naw when you do it the output still looks the same. I would say go with hid's if you feel this may be an issue but I can tell you that you will not notice a difference...

                    Anything above 6k is pretty much a waste and alot of people don't even go with those lol.


                    When you do it you're painting everything except for the back the housing where the light reflects off of so it won't affect it. It may sharpen the edges of it actually but your output won't suffer any.

                      when i painted mine on my old cb7, the lighting projection was only reduced a small amount...not enough for me to regret painting them because i loved the look
