i see stuff like this everywhere:
which is it? legal or not?
i recently bought some cheap JDM headlamps and the reflector isn't painted. i wanted to paint them because they just look too damn plain and USDM.
Well not to be a smart ass, but ANY modification to stock headlights is illegal.
That headlight you posted is not legal because one there is no amber reflector, second the chrome reflector part for the parking light is black, which means there is no light going to the side or forward, and there should be light for it to be legal.
Painting the chrome reflector around and behind the bulb is stupid and illegal cause if cars can't see you and they hit you, you can be at fault.
