As for the dots, the really black ones I usually have absolutely no luck bleaching lighter. I don't know what the deal is with those ones. I usually just pluck the black hairs/knots out with some tweezers (there are usually only 5-10 on a unit). As for the other dots/knots that aren't quite light enough, you can make up a peroxide/bleach poweder solution that is nice and thick (use lots of powder) and use a butter knife to apply it to the underside of the unit on the lace and leave it for 15-30 mins to lighten the knots. But be careful with it, don't push the bleach into the hairs, and don't leave it on for too long. You don't want the knots to be completely white or else the hair will be brittle and snap off.
You didn't think out the "dye your own hair darker", did'ja ?
If he did that, it would also dye his gray hair and then there is no way that the unit would match
