Just take your time when you open the lense not to crack them... They have to be baked in the oven to loosen the glue.. Take your time when you tape and paint... Not a hard process

Process was a PITA but I bought some used headlights that were really yellowed so that made mine more difficult.

I haven't gotten a chance for a decent photo shoot, so sorry about the lighting. I love the way it looks though.

It was really easy, just take your time taking the cover off. On mine, some of the plastic broke off with the old RTV, so I ended up having to RTV a lot more than I should have. It was a kind of a pain.. But still pretty easy.
