Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and I've been searching for a really detailed DIY thread on blacking out headlights. If there is, can someone please show me a link that shows how to do it from the very first step like taking out the headlights to sealing the headlights. basically like a dummies guide.

I'm VERY new to modding and don't want to mess up my headlights. I have an '02 NBP btw. THANKS!
