Looks good. When it gets dark, take a picture of the fogs on. I want to see how the light output is after the paint.

I love the looks of the headlights and corners on your truck, but the fog lights look like poo, imo.

Me too!

Looks great Jax... I just did the same to my White '07 Sport with a black '08 grille. No pictures yet though... thought about black tails too but my Westin Taillight guards hide most of the light so I'm staying with red back there!

I actually took a pic at night the first night i did it ill post em prolly tommorow when im at that computer,,,, you dont lose enough light output to not do it The fogs are still bright and im doing the HID conversion here soon so it wont even matter after that!

I like those black headlights, I don't like the white reflector on the corner lights though. A thin coat of the tint you have on the white reflector may do the trick to make it look perfect.
I'd love to see someone try this.

haha thanks everyone! And as to spray tinting the headlights... Ive seen people do it before it looks decent... and its cheaper... and the clear corners look sweet against the yellow too billy bob! I just posted pics of them at night in another thread...
