I decided after all of your guys input that I am going to give it a shot after I have an extra set of headlights and fresh cleans lenses I posted previous.
My questions is where to tape off at, I can see more or less where but I cant find that masking tape that curves anywhere, anyone know where I can find this tape (striping tape or masking tape that curve)
redz2898 what are you talking about wesley snipes?

One more tip, make sure you get the silicon melted all the way. The plastic gets brittle and will chip if you try and pry the lights apart with force. Once you get them hot enough, they'll come apart pretty easy. It's really not that hard a mod at all if you just take your time. Don't be intimidated.

So last night I masked it all off and took my time getting it the best I possibly could masking, I sprayed a few coats and it looked great. This mornings I was excited they looked great as I went to pull off take the silver or "chrome came off the headlight with the tape.
I'm pretty bummed about it, I used blue painters tape didnt think Od have a problem as I've used it so many times.
So now what should I do, paint entire thing black? Try and find a chrome paint and paint centers? (usually chrome paint does not look good and it will look like a mess)
Anyone got any ideas?
Luckily I still have the stock ones that I cleaned and they look good, wistler just looks badass but I don't wanna mess up another pair
