Can Someone Post A Few Pics Of Their AE'D OEM Headlights

I just picked up a set of OEM headlights and i want to do the AE mod to them, Ive been looking for advice and some pics of them close up so i can see exactly how they look so i can have a guideline to go by... so i ask if you have this mod done to your headlights can you post up a few closeup pics so i can see where to tape off and paint the chrome and maybe get a few different ideas from everyone.

You get the idea. Open them up, tape off the reflective part that the light actually hits and spray away.

Don't hate on my old fogs

Ive looked there many times. What I'm looking for is a closeup pic of the inside of the headlight so I can see where to tape off and to paint

If you can't figure it out from there, then just pay a local member a 6 pack to do it.

Once you open up your headlights, you will know.

Did any of you guys AE your clearance lights too? If so, how did you do it? Did you put them in at a different temperature? Only reason I ask is because before I went to the aftermarket black corners on my last car, I melted through 2 SETS of clearance housing lights using the DIY method exactly....
