I think I read your post wrong. I thought you were looking for sedan headlights and tail lights, but you are looking for coupe stuff, which none exist.

You can tint your tail lights, thats about it
You can bake your headlights open and paint the shroud. I did mine black.

what temperature do i put them in at? how long? then what do i do to open them?

You need a small torx bit to unscrew the 2 screws in the back, remove the seal and bulbs and put one headlight in the oven for about 3 minutes at 250*. When hot, grab some gloves, and pull the clear lense from the black assembly. When seperate, there are 2 torx screws holding the shroud to the clear lense, remove them, and paint the chrome shroud.

This is the newer style headlight, but its the same setup.

thanks for the help. question tho. why cant you just do it with out baking them?

You have to soften up the glue. The glue is a sealant.
