I was looking for some spare parts on ebay and happened to browse past a mk5 headlight, and an idea came up.
Haven't opened a light up myself but from the looks of it, there's kind of a bezel that's chrome facing outwards and that doesn't seem to have much effect on how the bulbs beam is reflected, as it's pointed directly outwards and sits close to the lens. If looking for the outside doesn't distort the view.
So thought it would look nice, a little twist without having too much of a "tuning look" with angel or evil eye lids (not judging, just isn't my kinda thing). But to you guys who have opened headlights up, how fiddly is it. Heatgun enough to crack them open and how risky (leaks in the future etc.)..
Do you think painting the bezel area dark grey/black (as per photoshopped pics attached) would be a legal mod, as it doesn't seem to reflect light or change the beam in any way?
