Painting Headlights

Anyone tried opening up the headlights and painting them? Think I might give that a try.

RE: Painting Headlights

I checked it out today...not 100% sure how to remove it but it can't be too hard. What type of paint should I use...automobile paint, plastic paint, high temp paint...what you guys think?

RE: Painting Headlights

I would go with something High temp... automotive paint is a good choice, but you have to clear it a lot to handle heat... it also might dull the output if the clear gets too hot... (not as relfective)

the lights are easy to remove, the lenses will be fun... you supposedly have to bake them at like 350* for 15 minutes or some crap... you also need to get some new sealant. (I am not sure on any of that though, so its not my fault if they leak or break...
