Just baked my Headlights
I'd have to say this mod, was not that hard. I've had them on for a month or two and no fogging yet. It's rained a couple times to, so I think they've passed so far. I was wondering what the actual output of light to the road was gonna be with these. That was why I only painted the top part of the actual reflector of the light. I was surprised to see that I couldn't even tell a difference. Which was nice. But has me thinking of opening them up again and painting the bottom part to. I think I'll just stick with them the way they are. What do you guys think?

The part of the reflector that you painted is what reflects the light downward. I'm surprised you didn't see some light degradation.
I did something similar, but painted the lower part, it should theoretically reduce some HID glare, but I haven't tested it yet.

All I can say is every time I have been stopped and it has not been often - they go looking for any infraction they can find. Not having a red lense on the brake light will get you a ticket around here especially if the red lense is cracked and missing a piece. And forget about passing inspection every two years unless everything is ok and tint is factory!

You live in Cali or something? I'm in Arkansas and cops don't really bother people around here for stuff like that. I didn't clear my tails, they're all candy red now. Which, I could still get ticketed for I'm sure. For not having reverse lights or at least a white lens for them. And we don't have crappy inspections like that, yet. Hopefully it'll never happen. I could do whatever I want to do to my car and have no problems registering it or passing inspections, cause we don't have any. I'm glad I don't live where you live.
