I say B out of the two choices, but I've never been a fan of the blacked-out headlight look. However, I love how GTNPUZ's headlights are done in his thread. Too lazy to link though lol.

Looks good. Were they painted shiny black or flat black?

I can.



I've done it ~5 times now for each side swapping out HID components. I don't use the oven because it's just a pain. Heat guns do a better job anyways, more controllable.

I think you have my number still.

I just had mine done by Ivory. He painted them matte black and changed the lens.

Here is one of the pictures he took of the final product.
