You guessed! Ten times better than the stockers
Got those with EURO cutoff plates if one day you think of retrofitting as well

What's this thing for and is it removed as part of the projector retrofit?

That's the gauge for aiming the light and yes, it is removed during retrofit (if you want) since it is no longer useful.

Are most of you sanding and painting the reflector bowl? Black?

For those of you that have done that, did you keep the high beam bulb operational?

If so, are you getting any noticeable light output from it?

Especially, are they functional when flashing with low beams (xenons) off?

Kept my high beams functional and replaced with a small H7 size LED tower. Meant to warn/flash in day time only.... and yes useless in night time! But who needs high beam with those projectors anyway

RE paint; can't see clearly from the pic but those are painted in the same blue code as the car. Absolutely brilliant idea I say. never thought of that. Hope to see a summer shot with a bit of sun light in there... got to look good

So how the heck does it come out? I can pull on it until it, and maybe something else, breaks, but that seems too barbarian.
