The LED DIY will be done this evening most likely, I am finishing up the last headlight as we speak

I assume this doesn't affect the brightness of the lights noticably?

not at all, all of hte light output is in the projector housing, the chrome in the housing isn't reflecting any of the light come from the headlight, only a little from the parking lights.
