^^ theretrofitsource.com - you must remove the ballast before baking the light, if you are at all hesitant about opening up your lights (and/or ruining them in the process), contact JnC his prices are extremely reasonable for the results.

Could the people who have removed the amber reflectors post pictures (close ups and from a distance) of their bulb set up, especially if they are using LED bulbs.

I'm curious how it looks. Thanks!

Hey, I was wondering what do you guys think for a Mayan bronze model? Smoked tails? Cleared? Color matched? Etc? Thanks!

I have a Mayan Bronze with smoked tails (but l left the reverse light and turn signal clear). I will try to post a photo in the next day or two. Also installing the RonJon grille this week and plan to deal with the headlights after that. Probably not going to color match, but rather just go matte black. Not sure as I haven't seen a color-matched headlight on the MBM for comparison.

^^ while MBM is a gorgeous color i have a feeling it would be a difficult match, especailly when looking at the color through the lens of a headlight i'm sure the variations in lighting and surface textures/shapes will make it even harder visually.

Can't go wrong with gloss black. Maybe try the ridges in MBM?
