Painted headlights
I followed whistler's write up.

I used Krylon Fusion gloss black paint. I think it turned out very well. What do you think?

I have been meaning to do this for weeks now, but keep coming up with excuses on why putting my expensive headlights in the oven isnt the brightest thing I can do. Any tips for the oven part of the project? Planning on doing it this weekend if I go get the supplies.
Thanks

yeah, its nothing complicated. the lenses just dont come off too easily. i did this mod, and it changed the appearance of my entire front end it seems. it looks much sleeker, and meaner. now i just have to polish my lenses so they look as good as yours. looks great!

I did the mod myself a few weeks ago, it came out really nice. I DID almost shatter my housing and I have a pretty nice spiderweb crack in it from trying to seperate the lense but you cant really see it. Other than that it went well, I was just surprised by how brittle the housing was, make a note of that for those of you who plan to do the mod. I only decided to do the mod since Im buying halos pretty soon anyway.

I guess I'd have to see it in person. Just doesn't seem like enough of a difference to warrant the hassle.
