.yea i put the before and after so you can tell because sometimes i think you really cant tell but maybe thats just me lol. but thanks alot!!
its a bit darker i didnt want to be so dark like black because real CTR lights arent black. there just a darker shade of gunmetal
KILLER FITS allday!!
the person who helped me do this was MX6 but it was farly simple
i put the light one at a time in the oven set at 350 degress i preheated it for a minute. theni put the lights in the oven for 2-3 minutes or untill i could get the glue to soft so i can pry it part (before you do that make sure the 3 lil screws arounds the light are off). then i took off the plastic cover primered it painted it and put ut back together. the putting it back together is the hardest part lol so good luck i was on a mission on that last and final step.

i used some rustolium paint i found in wall mart it is a metallic gun metal paint .ill have to check the color on the can when i get a chance i left it at my friends crib.
at first i was doing it like a cave man. with a blow drying poping if off section by section but then it hit me to bake them in the oven. and it made it so much easier they just came apart.
