I dont want to do this myself but I want it done. Just afraid of screwing them up. I was wondering if anyone on the forum here does it as a service where a core fee can be paid for the headlights then refunded once mine are sent back. Anyone know?

You may want to READ the original question and UNDERSTAND it has nothing to do with needing instructions.

You may want to just post up the type of pictures your looking for many of us probably have picture that either did not get posted or just didn't need to post during the process. But if ask the masses here for a specific picture or angle they may have it in their batch of pictures from when they did the mod.
My idea is to place the amber reflector between the rear of the headlight and the 'black' portion of the headlight rather than the OEM position which is between the front of the headlight (clear portion) and the 'black' portion of the headlight. To me it looks like the most reflective part is the ==== strip in the center of the side reflector which would still show.
Below is a VERY ROUGH (EMPHASIS ON ROUGH) photoshopped picture of what I'm thinking about.

Thats were the slots is at when the reflector is off actually.

Thats right, but since there is a slot there. He wants to put the reflector behind it to show just that strip through that small slot. Instead of puttin it back in its original position or painting the top and bottom half black while leaving the middle stock.
Its a good idea, just need to find out if it will fit there and how well it will still reflect.

I guess it can be put together without resealing it and plugging in to see A)if it fits and B)how well it fits. Since my headlights are getting modified in a different state than where the vehicle is I cannot do that. Whomever wants to try the BHLM JMS mod feel free
I attached a few shots that I just set up. Sorry - I kept the area behind the reflector unpainted so it appears a little more vibrant when installed. (I like the contrast.) But with the little bit of overspray that crept in I think you can get an idea of the look you want.
The first pic is no back light with flash; the second is with back light and flash; the third with back light and no flash. (I just stuck one of the Oznium LEDs behind the reflector so that's why it looks so brilliant yellow in the last shot.)
I think this area of the reflector is designed more for diffusing the side marker light than it is for reflection. BUT, if you don't care about reflection and are only concerned about the marker light coming through, it may look pretty sharp!
