Ok...I just did my own lights today...total cost 14.39. It consisted of masking tape, Heat Paint, and a Auto Scuff Pad. The hardest part was cracking the seal and if anyone would go to the How Too section they can read the instructions. However you need to use an electric oven, not gas because it wont heat as even. It takes two people to break the seal using a screw driver and alot of loving. Once it is done though you must clear where the old glue was...mind you its heat active so you dont need to remove all of it...clean up big pieces and use apoxy to seal them back up again reheating them in the oven and they will be clean. The hardest part was masking off and being precise about it. Total Time involved roughly 6 hrs.

DON'T BUY THEM. I am going to be painting my headlights soon. We can do ours together. It will only cost you around 10-15 dollars for paint, primer, and sandpaper. I have tons of experience working with paint so they will come out awesome. We should get together some time and do em.

i just got my lights done...it's a pain but i only spent 15 bucks. 250 for that craptastic job is not even worth it. He even says he's "almost 100% positive" they're sealed up. You can't be almost positive...you either are or you aren't. avoid those like the plague.

My friend did a DIY like that for his Civic. It looked amazing. however, he used a mose gunmetal instead of a direct black. It looks sick. His car is silver, his wheels are gunmetal, and the like. so it works very well. Good link though!
