i am thinking about painting mine too. i also have a 2006 white ram. i was going to color match (whiteout) the housing along with bottom reflector and side reflector. also get a set of eyelids color matched too. i think that would look badass. i dont have black accents on my truck so blacked out wouldnt look good on my white truck, plus i dare to be different.

These are on ebay for a descent price from what I have seen. I think it's well worth spending $200 so you don't have to bake your headlights and open them up, do all the prep and paint work and then have to reseal them up again. However, you'll save that money if you like the projects. Just make sure you spend lots of extra time in the prep work and do several light coatings!

Not sure what ebays prices are but this seems like a fair option and they are brand new, not used.

I want mine like that but I don't want to the LED look. I want them to look like they came like that stock.
