      Hmm...I dunno...I like the idea, but what exactly could you blackhouse? it uses the whole thing as the reflector...plus light output with stock H3's is already horrible...Try it and let us know!

        Yeah, I'm going with what DarkFusion said. Light output
        would not be to great, and as for the emblem...
        I would scuff it up, and paint it. They look nice also, when
        cleared. It gives the car a nice clean touch.

          I wouldn't blackhouse your fogs. It will make them look like the inside of the housing is dirty, since you can't really see through the lens all that well.

              This is about as far as you can blackhouse without losing output:

                If I was too do that I would black out the sides and top and leave the rear part if the reflective bowl only

                edit: or maybe try what the bimmer guys do to blackhouse their round oldschool headlights, not sure if that would work in this case but we'll see pics later.



                Ok, look at this pic, they use somet type of insert(2)(make from thin aluminum or tin in most cases(paint black) and when put together its looks like a "+" or "x"inside the headlight(high beam) and the reflector reflects this black color giving it a smoked look. I'm still trying to find pics pf the inserts themselves but its simple DIY. I think you make sometime like that to fir your fog

                here is link to the diy, you'll see what the guy uses

                  I would Blck house the outer lining of it just a bit and go with a 3K HID in it and you should have a descent output of light. If you are worried about the output gp with the 6K and be done with it.

                    You could blackhouse the top and bottom. Everything but the relector. I dont know if it will look good though.
