Joey Mod On Non Xeon?

Does anyone know if the Joey Mod can be done to non xeon lights? Will the lights still perform good after? How is it done?

I just sold a set on ebay to a non paying bidder so I sold them to someone on M|U. It can be done. It looks awesome. And it doesn't effect light output at all. good luck!

Do all non-xenon lights have those lines across the lense?

Nah, her reflectors aren't painted. Painting the reflectors would be one of the worst ideas ever (although....also the funniest ever).

The reflectors are the cup-shaped housings around where the bulb is....you don't paint these. They are a separate piece from the interior housing which is just there for decoration....despite being chrome, it does nothing to reflect light onto the road.
