Here are a few more pics of the Mod During baking them...



Using the butter knife (key: So you dont crack or scratch your lenses) with light pressure! Dont use force for that it cant crack them... Mine came off pretty easily of slowly opening them all the way around about 3 rotations of prying it open in the groove with the butter knife...



Foggy Lenses... Needed serious buffing... can't really see it in the pic...



Prep for the tape took the longest and was the biggest PITA!! Take your time, cut the tape to the curve of the reflectors... patience is a virtue here!



Finished Product with JUST using the Krylon Fushion Gloss Black spray with no clear cloat prior.



Clear Silicone RTV... Make sure you get a good seal for no leaks!

Looks great! The first set of headlights I did, when I masked the inside chrome, I must have used too sticky of tape- it ripped some of the chrome off.

Some of mine came off also and I used blue painters tape. It's not very sticky at all and it still peeled a bit.
