Blacked out headlights *Pics*
Another blacked out headlight thread... 
I am very happy, I had my headlights installed today with the help of Drew982TL.

Big Mike - The paint takes about an hour to dry. I left in the sun for about an hour before I put them back together. Just read what it says on the paint can.
Everyone else, thanks for all the comments on My 1st mod!!!

Those look real nice. I'm planning on blacking/clearing my headlights during X-mas break to match my grill. If you don't mind, could you PM me detailed instuctions on what to do...? I know how to do it, but I'm afraid I'm going to mess something up. Thanks.

You have to take off the bumper, take off support beams, then take off the headlights.
Then you have to either heat up the casings with a heat gun or bake them in an oven. The sealant will turn gooey, then you have to pry apart the casings. Then you take off the amber reflector, and the piece that you want to paint. Prep, prime, paint. Put it back together, use silicone sealant to reseal the casings.
My car's SSM, so I left them the way they were, and only took out the amber deflectors. Looks much better than blacked out casings because it's silver.
