try searching in the TL forum. i think i remember seeing it there. while your blacking them out you might as well clear them too

Take them out... disassemble the HID's and put them safely aside.

Heat gun around the edges of the lamps, don't concentrate too much on one spot or you'll bust your lamps. Gently pry it apart.

Make sure the black-goo doesn't get on the the reflective chrome.

Mask off. Paint. Dry. Use plumbers sealant silicone to seal up. Heat up the edges again and press the lense and housing together. Cure for 24 hours. Reinstall.

I'd save up & get a pair of 03 black housings on Ebay or from the black market here.
