Turn Signal Bulbs Painted and New Headlights

So, after I had posted that one thread a few days ago about making Silver turn signal bulbs, I remembered I had a can of Smoke Paint made by a company named AUG. The rest is in Japanese, so I cant tell you what the directions were, but this is what I did:
First: Removed front turn signal bulbs from near the fogs
Second: Wiped them down with rubbing alcohol to promote adhesion
Third: Sprayed the bulbs
Fourth: Dried them quicker with a hair dryer since it was starting to rain and I needed to get them back in ASAP
Fifth: Reinstalled

Here are a few picture. The orange color that could be seen in the housing during the day is now gone. The lights are still plenty bright as well.

***I also ordered and just installed a set of SPP 80W Super White bulbs for my low beams since after 16 months the Silverstars just went. My fogs which I have had for about 14 months now are also 80W SPP (yellow though) and I have had no trouble with the harness or housing getting too hot. Pictures of that can be seen using the link in my signature. I will take pictures of them when I can. Here is a link to SPP

New Headlights at Night (SPP 80Watt Super White) A little glare, but that may be due to the rain that is finally falling. This picture was taken just a little above horizontal (even with headlights)

Here are pics of my taillights with the overlays, the turn signals in the front that I smokes, and the new lights with the fogs on. The housing does get a little hot, but not bad.

very nice....i like not having the yellow color that shows up during the day at some angles

at one point I thought about trying to tint these to match the darkness of the japanese headlights

is it me or does it look like your drivers side headlight seem to be aimed a bit higher than the passenger side?

Yeah...it seemed that way to me too, so I lowered the aiming of that one a bit which took care of the problem. Isnt it supposed to be a little higher tough? I know one of them is, but I cant remember which.
