Question Blacking out headlights??

Anyone know how to EXACTLY do it, or have a step-by-step guide?
I really want to black out my headlights, but don't want to just rush into it, and mess something up..

you can do it, it is easy. That was one of the first mods I did. Heat your oven to bake 215 once preheated place one at a time in there for I think 14 min. They will pull apart, but if you let them cool down then the glue will dry back up. Once apart, I think there are two (2) torqe head screws on the back to remove the housing, tape off the turn signal area and pop the amber cover. Paint wait a few, another layer. Once it looks good I placed mine back in the oven for about 5 min to bake the paint. When you put everything back together place them back in the oven to reheat the glue for about 14 mins and squeeze back together. I got black caulk and went around the lights to make sure they silled good. But it is easy, you can do it.

If you havent noticed we have deals on the forums not the website. We always tell people to PM us for deals as well. We have sold alot of regular blacked out headlights. Retrofits are more popular. We have chrome retrofits with HID kit for under $300! Our HID kits are pre-installed for plug-n-play action as well. Just trying to inform people as clearly they do not know
