Are there any guides on how to convert or paint the Xenon housing from chrome to Black/smoked?
Also wouldn't mind removing the orange part of the indicator too.
I've seen it done but not too sure how.
Like these (pic from r32oc)
Since genuine xenon are expensive I don't want to ruin them...
Edit: did another search and found this:

It seems that separating the lense on a xenon light it not as straight forward as just heating up the glue, so some cutting is required :-\
They do look good though...
