Why not just take the easy route and have a place make a batch of black reflector headlights(i.e. Hightowers)?

I would think all the shop would have to do is make molds from existing parts(thus keeping the price down), correct me if I'm wrong.
Jason, I think the tough part about that is being able to reseal 100% of them properly or else you'll end up with another Milan Motorsports fiasco....
I don't mean have a place tear appart the old lights and paint them, but make completely new lights(using the stockers to make molds). I just think this sounds alot more realistic and would have better chance of actually seeing production than a completely new design.

I'm real interested in those headlights. I got water in one of mine while wet-sanding and now it's all foggy on the inside. I'd hate to have to take them apart but if I do than I might as well just paint them and forget the new lights all together. I know it cant be easy for a regular guy to put something into production but do we have an updated status?

To top this off, the engineers have to work within specifications because of many reasons such as durability, heat, wall thickness, strength, etc...When they send me something to look at, I have to tell them what is wrong with it. At first it was very frustrating because it seemed like no one was listening. Now we are atleast getting close to the same page. Now my frustration is due to how long it is takeing. I wish I would have known a few things before I started this so it could have gone smoother, but live and learn, right? The people who are unbelievers are entitled to their opinion. Personally, if this does not work it is a great failure on my part. I have way too much in this to let it go.
