Get some old crystals that are accident damaged on the casing. Take the reflectors out and fit them into your lamps.

As much as i would love to do that than paint them just means spending extra money on top =/ Well i'll see,be hard to get damaged ones when all scrapyards in Northampton sucks and probably sell them quite expensive.

Why don't you just split your old headlights and take the chrome out of them? Won't cost you any money for paint or new headlights then!

True that,well i will eventually find out how they are when i drive at night,they seem okay when i turned them on when i fitted them this morning at 7am.
@boyracer because i was going sell those lol,whole point i bought the masked ones from budham because i couldn't get my orange crystals opened.
I may aswell of opened them and paint them myself and not of bought the budhams crystals,but i couldn't get myself to take the orange ones apart.

How cheap were talking here Ben lol.
I had drive earlier to see the visibility of the crystals,not too bad does stretch very far still and still visible. Still better than angels,the Osrams sure makes difference.
If it does get really bad then i will probably replace them.
