you need to blacken all the ribbed sections of the reflector. They are useless for light output by design. I used a black paint pen, as the reflector chroming is very delicate.

Edit corners were done using VHT nightshades spraypaint for tinting lenses. You might need to have your local panel beater/paint supply shop mix some black and clear for you.

Just out of curiousity exexpat, what would you expect to get for the T-5R over there then? A standard price and a seriously modified price.
