You didn't say you wanted them blasted; could have done that for a nominal fee...:mrgreen:
Seriously, I'd be careful with that because of the way the baffles are. Flush with LOTS of water and compressed air!

Been awhile since I installed the LED headlights. Didn't drive in full darkness for several weeks. I live in a relatively urban area with stretches of road where there are no lights. The low beams are so much of an improvement over the stock lights. The brights are so powerful they are unusable if any cars are coming towards me. Incredibly bright. And I got middle of the road LED's and not the expensive ones. Completely blinds pedestrians walking along the side of the road. They stop and cover their eyes, on low beams.

Yeah I told ya, and actually I finally fired all of mine up and swear it seemed like daylight out(not that it shows very well in the pic).

Thats why I like a patterned beam with my HIDs, they don't bother the pedestrians or other drivers but really light up the road.

They are so bright I am going to adjust them down more than normal. They have excellent coverage but don't have a tightly focused beam.

Well aware of that. I'll tape off the internal side. Just want to strip the outside of the cover.

Does power tools to work on the car count? Picked up a Porter Cable 10" miter saw & a metal cutting wheel. Instructions said not to use cutting metal due to fire hazards but it makes a cool spark fountain out the dust collector port (didn't used the collector bag, I'm not that much of a dumb blonde but not far off.) After I'm finished ruining it with metal cutting I'll use it for some wood work for inside of the garage.
