I already did this,... I took a piece of black vinyl and made a pattern with paper, then I placed in the vinyl and cut it there,... after 3 different attempts I finally go the right shape,... it took me about 25 minutes to do everything,... and I saved 30 bucks,... anyway I think it looks great, it did the job of covering those ugly orange reflectors without spending 700 bucks on the euro headlamps. And this is in my case without the xenon,... otherwise you would be looking around $1400 just for white reflectors,... better just to cover them. This in my humble opinion....
