besides, troopers around here would probably stop me for having blue headlights.
i may pick up a used set and try them to see if they actually look good in blue.
white or silver, or a gloss black would loook SWEET though.
blue and red are just those colors that can get to be "TOO much" sometimes.
but what the hell, i already have everything else PTMed
Great thread though
I like the lights AND the painting of the headlights. Not to push a product but I noticed these in one catalog I get. Price is kinda high but the lights seem to be good and adjustable.

They also come with the mgfer's grill, but it's a lot more expensive.
And these for the guys that are afraid of putting ANYTHING in the oven!

this is to robinab. the condensation from putting the light together shouldn't be an issue. whenever you change a headlight bulb you are allowing moisture into the headlight assembly. the only problem that causes condensation in a light is a crack or actual water in the light. i would think that if you seal it up good again there shouldn't be a problem. i'm not just blowin smoke i work in a body shop and deal with lights all the time. i think that you will be ok.

ok, this may be a dumb question but if im reading this correctly, your sanding and painting the reflective surface of the inside of the light and in doing so, are you decrease headlight effectiveness at all? I do like the way this looks though and i know they look similar to the harley lights.. so im sure the headlights still work ok.. just wondering.

Nope, because they are painting all glossy area EXCEPT the round gloss that is used for bulb reflection. Look at some of the pictures that are posted. Thats the only piece thats not blackened.
I've got mine apart right now. I'll just have to go to church without headlights.
I'm going to pick up some color today and finish them. Any thoughts on what color I should use??? I'm kinda up in the air with that right now.

Yours would look good silver or black.
