This is how the black Lightning corners should look

I took after Coobies5 and markrazmandi and spray painted the outer lip of my black Lightning corners black to eliminate the "chrome" look it gives off.

I extremely please on how they turned out! pretty dark, but not solid black and still a bit of transparency. now to just let them finish drying and on the truck tomorrow for pics.

and hopefully the amount of silicone I used holds up...:o

how they look previous (on truck)


how the lenses looked after painting and once they were back together

I had them, but I didn't like the look. I think the orange works better with my red truck. if I had a blue, white, grey, etc. color truck, then they would fit better.

Looks real clean, I'd consider doing that but last time I opened a set of corners it didn't end well. I wish I would have gone with the orange reflectors personally.

Here are some pics of them on the truck. I'm letting them cure a good 2 days before putting them on the truck for good. So pics to come this weekend.
