Default Painted clear corners!

Would clear corners look dumb painted to match painted headlights? Also, I have an 04 f-150, should I paint the headlights on it? Same method? Sorry, I know it's a Ford but I like it!

What kind of paint are you talking about? Are you talking about the smoked style paint?

I don't think that would work on the corners. They're more of a reflective light as opposed to a headlight which is aimed and doesn't utilize the front reflector of the housing. Although, I have LED's in mine, and it doesn't use one bit of the reflector. If you used LED's, I would say try it. A regular incandescent bulb isn't "aimed" like an LED.

There is no way to get the lense separated from the housing, ive allready tried. Im sure it would work on your truck Chris.

i was at a shop where they were doing a custom paint job (not saying what kind of car) but they painted the rear lenses to match the paint lines that they threw down...it looked really good. Better than smoked, clear or whatever. Point is you can get whatever you want done if you look hard enough..good luck
