yes all of it..all i did was tape of the groove where the sealant goes so it wouldn't affect the adhering of the rtv sealant when i was putting them back together...

Looks good King.
I put 2 light coats of nightshades on mine and it doesn't look too bad. And they are NOT green, they have a yellow/brown tint to them and barely altered the brightness of the lamps. Of course the only pic I have is in my sig....

i know what you mean...thought about leaving it but trust me...the lights are so deep its gonna be a pita to tape off the fins...but if you do im sure itll look rocking...just put them in the oven on 240-250 for about 6-8 minutes...then start prying and if you need more time put them back in for a minute at a time that way you dont warp the lens...

i was doing so some searching and came across this thread with the whole foglight housing being painted. Any, who i was just curious if the headlights could be done like this, im talkin the whole thing , not just Harley headlights i kno the light output would be reduced, just curious , i have hids as well and from lookin at those pics, it doesnt look to bad.

yes, it can be done. light output isn't really reduced either
