So I decided it was finally time to upgrade to the total stealth look. I had been toying with the idea for some time. Here are some pics of the process and the results as well as the front signals I painted low gloss black.

Great work, excellent write up. Is there any difference in nite time illumination? I don't remember seeing but was the oven temp 180deg?

Ethand, this procedure will work on any H4 housing (you can determine by the bulb type you use).
I'll quote my note again just so people understand this cannot be done for 99% of US/Canada MX-3s:

I guess here would be a good time to say:
DO NOT DO THIS PROCEDURE IF YOUR BULB TYPE IS 9004
it will only work on Euro/JDM mx-3 housings... I don't want anybody coming back with FAILED thread stories on how they can't see any light coming out of their headlights
