I know I've seen these before, and they used to be on the old RE site, but where can you get them now?
I think they look neat, but they stick out way too much and look weird, it's too easy to tell that it's just an overlay. Any other way to achieve a similar effect?

I agree silvertibbs, hence the question.

Think it would be possible to buy the masks and shave them to fit inside the light? Or would that block too much light? What about heat?

Just open the lense, take out the chrome plastic piece, and paint it the colour you want. It is JUST that easy, does not block any light, and looks totally unique and custom.

Okay, that's what I thought. Just wanted some more opinions.

Now, on another note, I had the headlight open and some of that glue stuff got smeared in places I didn't want, what's the best way to get rid of that crap? I've tried everything I swear...
