Clearing/Blacking Headlights?

Well my winter break is coming up an I'm going to have a good amount of time without class and a job. I want to clear and black out my headlights myself and I was wanting a DYI. Also, do I need clear turn signals? How would I do that do I need to purchase it somewhere?

EDIT:: well for some reason this forum blanks out the fucking @curaworld.com website, so you'll have to copy and paste this link, but change the "@" into a normal "a"

I think you should leave out the diffuser. Gives it a cleaner look.

I drive a 99-01 TL and it's a lot bigger lense so I'm defintly going with the lense. It takes up a whole section of the side instead of just the bottom. Thanks for the link I've already ordered them.

I used to moderate the second generation TL section of . I met hzm82 there and he's a cool guy. I remember what you're talking about. He was just helping out a fellow member, and the mods didn't like him linking to AW.
