itd be easier to take them apart and paint them yourself. vs losing your ass over it and doing a refund/exchange....thats assuming they do it.

yea because if i were to return them i would most likely have to pay the dutty fee which is charged for bringing things in from across the border ..its $97 what i would have to pay in order to send them bak and another 97 to pick them up when the right ones get returned hmmm...ill stick with the ones i got they dont look bad at all i really like them all it needs is HID...but for future refference...would anyone be able to tell me a little about taking apart the lights and painting them black?

i dont think its been done on the projectors, but it shouldnt be too different than the regular halogens.

goto the how-to section and look.

the projectors are very different to the halogens in the way they seal up.
not saying it cant be done....but it would be tough.

The projectors are screwed together. I think it would be easier to pull them apart.
