Has anyone "black housed" the DRL LEDs on the '13 +?

I've been searching and searching and I can't find anything on this. I'd like to open the LED housings in the bumper under the headlights and black out the inside

I've been searching and searching and I can't find anything on this. I'd like to open the LED housings in the bumper under the headlights and black out the inside of those to match the Headlights when I get around to do them. Has anyone had any experience in doing this?

Check out user Scone. He tinted his DRL's and they look badass on a black Z.

He said he did it the same way as baking the headlights, you should reach out to him for more info

Looks like it is possible... Saw this post earlier in the thread and went looking for Carmen SanDiego (Scone hasn't logged in since '14)...
