if you paint the chrome reflector behind the lights would it be alot dimmer. even if you removed that cap over the driving lights.

Thanks Mr. Obvious, I never made the connection! 
Doing the "Hightower" mod is a pain in the butt. You'll need to take a dremel, and cut along the yellow glue line, all the way around the headlights. This is the most time consuming part, to make sure you get a straight line. Once you get the lense off, it's up to you if you want to just mask off the parts you don't want painted, or remove the chrome bezel itself. You can either paint the chrome black, or use duct tape and remove the chrome, which leaves a nice black finish underneath. Sealing the lights back up is a nightmare! Be patient, seal them up real nice, let them dry and check for leaks! Good luck, this is NOT a mod you'll finish in under 24 hours.
