Need opinion on headlights!

so i have an 07 tl-s WDP, i find the amber diffusers EXTREMELY intrusive in the headlights, i have the half tints for my headlights from bbm right now (the kind that dont cover the projectors), but they just dont look as flush adn clean as i want

im planning on openning up my headlights to do some work with them, i dont really plan on messing with any other part except for the diffusers

i have a two main ideas:
1. remove them completely
2. paint with niteshades

need some opinions on what to do, as well as other suggestions

T3h, I felt the same way about the amber diffusers-I wanted them out of there! I also installed the LED Audi-style strips and put in Carbon Fiber where the amber diffusers were. But it's well worth it-do it !!!!

Remove and black them out. Check out JNC's thread.

Yikes... I thought the TL-S had clear diffusers in their headlamps, with the exception of the amber reflectors. Shows how much I know. I don't mind my amber diffusers in my UA6 base headlamps, but they are so vanilla.

black out behind the diffusers, and put them back on. It darkens them up a bit without over kill. It gives a nice subtle stock look.
