There is no big difference (may be less than the stock by 15-20%)

There isn't a noticable difference and it isnt that hard. Go get a rattle can at the parts store and have some paitence taking the lens off and it will be done in no time.

Looks real good. I did the same thing to my car, except I painted them black. Gives the car a different look. Nice job.

I like it. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Just wondering, any problem with condensation inside your lights now?
