Maybe they could get you for modifying your OEM equipment, but I don't think there are any rules saying you must have a certain shape headlight.

Just speculation though.

Also, as stated above...its pretty effin easy to remove the modification.

I just threw mine in and they blow. I think one might be shot now since the front end took a little swim but I haven't checked yet.

I actually did use high temp paint. I work second shift so I drive home 40 minuted every night obviously with my lights on. I have had no problem.
Actually honestyly, I used regular paint on the first coat, ran out then used the high temp to finish. Its been a few months, and I dont even have chips. and I wheel it every weekend. no problem, also dont notice any difference in light output. I also kept it high and minimal to make sure it stayed that way

I did no scuffing either. diddnt want to have them sanded down if I wanted to get rid of it. so far so good. even if it does chip, its nice and easy touch up

if you just want to play angry eyes for a few days and your not sure if you will like how it looks and would rather not go all in with painting them you can always get some vinel tape or electrical tape and tape it off and then see how it looks before painting

even to the degree that i have mine at doesn't effect the light output at all. its very easy, and if the police in your area are dicks you can just only use electrical tape and take it off if they threatening for a ticket, another pic;

Just go buy some black vinyl and bam you're ready. its probably easier to do it with the main bezel off so you can get around the bulb and it looks better when you paint the chrome trim ring black also.
