2-3 hours total...i would bake em for like 10-15 minutes at 250*F then gently pry them apart...you are better off giving more force to the lense than the housing cuz it breaks really easily!...you gotta be careful when you mask the inside off too cuz it can easily peel up the chrome, def a lot easier than i expected!!! oh and use krylon fusion plastic paint...it works well

This is whistlers how to.
I did this, but I used a flat black rim paint. good on heat and abuse.. tho nothing should be abusing the paint inside the headlights. came out good, I just cant seem to get the lens to clear up.. So I got halo lights.

follow the one on car domain but i would turn the heat up to about 250*F and put them in for about 12 minutes...if they still arent ready do another 3 minutes and check again...put em on a piece of wood in the oven

Looks good, 20 texts later and its perfect haha. I'd recommend getting the turn signals like mine. They match the whistlers really well. The lense is still clear and the inside is painted black except the back reflector. I think it looks a lot better than just the tinted lenses.
