I dont think à led strip in full site would look nice. The led rings in the fogs aren't in plain site.
I would cover the led strip but can't think of a better option than the reflector. The paint I used was smoked backlight paint. It Leaves a certain amount of transparency. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

Just finished doing mine, inspired by verydisco  I was sort of forced into it as one headlamp had a huge puddle in it, no idea where from, but even after draining the water and using it, it just would not dry out fully, so it had to come apart anyway, which lead me to finding this thread. The hardest bit is finding the silverline bulbs, eventually came across the link to ebay so will hopefully be here in a day or two.

I did some mock up on photoshop and was not sure how it would end up, especially on my maya gold D3.
Obviously this mod would look much better on dark D3s. I look forward to see how it looks on you Disco Veridis Quo

I love that photo, I might have to do the same on my spare headlight to see what it looks like in the flesh.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to pass on my experiences after just finishing the headlight mod. Don't know if i've got more glue or my hairdryer is underpowered but it wasn't coming apart, i ended up having to use a heat gun.
My disco is silver and i decided to have the amber strips in the lights but i snapped the first one which i glued back together then tried the second one with more heat and it snapped into three pieces. 
So if you attempt the mod just be prepared that you may have to go for the completely silver look. I think it looks better than it did with no orange but If anyone has the orange reflectors that the don't want, please PM me.
