I'll probably end up taking my polycarb lenses out and spraying the inside of them with niteshades since I have a couple cans of it in my garage.

How 'bout a hinged sheet metal flap, sort of like a shutter with a retaining clip, movable eye-lids actuated with a pull cable (you could "wink" one light at-a-time). I wanted to do the angry-eyes paint mask as I've seen here but then I realized it would defeat the cat-eye beam pattern produced by the lenses of my Hellas.

Can I use normal enamel spray paint for this? Do I remove the headlights to do this or should I do it right in the header panel?
Reason I'm asking is because in the next few days I'll be putting a new header panel in, so I could easily do this before I put the headlights back into the new panel.
After I put the header panel in, though, I am getting a brush guard installed, along with two baja off-road lights on the guard, and getting the headlights alligned... I'm wondering if I should do this mod before or after. I want to do it before so that I don't have to work around a brush guard, but I want to do it after because I don't want my mechanic to think I'm a freak, haha.
Unless somebody here can tell me how to allign the headlights myself? The 4 screws and the spring that holds the one corner of the light confuses the hell out of me. Appreciate the help!
