    All true, one thng I'm realizing is that this method is a bit permanent lol Only way to go back to stock would be either new highbeams or chrome paint.

      Here is how it looks if you do just the glass, the first is my brothers car, and the other two are old pics of mine, I think they turned out fine, and like I said you can just get rid of it with Acetone.

        Either my car is the wrong color or I sprayed it wrong... Mine turned out so yellow it almost looked green!

          Those are obviously multiple coats, so I can't remember if a single coat came out a little too yellow/green, or maybe the product is slightly different now since those were done 3 years ago almost.

              how did this hold up with heat? Have you used them for an extended period of time?

                The way I did it, by spraying the outside of the glass has held up very well, as the picture with the plane was after it being on for about 2 years. I want to acetone it and do it again though since the drivers side is a tad lighter and I would like for them to be even.

                No effect from heat as far as I can tell, and neither my car nor my brother's is garaged most of the year so I would say it holds up remarkably well.

                  Heat on my set up hasn't been tested as I only turned them on once =/ Car is down; in the middle of a motor swap. I'll update longevity when its back up and running.

                    its dumb to paint the reflective part, is lessens your light output.

                    The real french lights are yellow glass, not some film , etc.

                      I know this lol But I imagine any kind of film/spray would lessen the light output as well. At the end of the day they are just high beams and if the lighting turns out to be that terrible, I can always get some HIDs. I don't leave them on at all hours of the day like other ass holes on the road so on coming glare is also not an issue either.

                      As I stated earlier, I'd love a set of French lights but I can't justify such an expense just yet ;)
