Experimented a little bit tonight.
Pulled apart the fog housings w/ a heat gun and painted the insides black.
What do you think?

I wish my glass was in better condition. Takes away from the overall effect of it. Oh well.

Never seen it done before.

Definitely much better looking!

You could always polish up the glass ;) See here: Volvo Performance Repairs And Modifications (http://volvospeed.com/install_performance_parts_how_tos/cosmetic_diy_upgrades/glass_polishing_scratch.html)
