Just a idea... you could change the reflector from orange to clear, while your changing your light anyway, there is a link in the How-to section. It looks really nice and would set off your retro fit IMO. Here is the link https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ight+reflector

not to be a dick but you can really clean the shroud up a little with some sanding...it looks like the corner of it and around the lense could be smoothed out...im crzy **** when it comes to detail so it might be perfect for urself....just my 2 cents.
i know that corner it hard to sand but if you take a little wood block and cut a 90 degree piece out you can ahere sandpaper to it to give you a nice way to get in that crease.

well i also wanted to paint it to see where my flaws were (since black shows them really good) so i knew where i had to spend more time on.
