I am in the process of doing this to my car right now but after I finished taping all the chrome off for the blinker light I noticed it was pulling the chrome off with the tape. It only did it to one light which I had replaced at the Acura dealership a year ago due to moisture in the lens which in turn blew the hid.
I will be painting it black and now I will be painting the complete piece black and was wondering if anyone has done this yet and how it looked. I am working on an 03 TL-S and hope it don't look too bad...

I used painters tape but it still took the chrome off with it, but only on the light I had replaced by the dealer last year. It didn't touch the chrome on the original head light.
Now I have to paint behind the amber bulb, not the headlights and I wanted to see if this has been done yet or if I am going to be the guniea pig for this.
phee- your car looks awesome after you did it and I figured since I had to take mine apart due to condensation I would try it also.

After 3 days of wet weather, this morning I was finally able to finish this and put it all back together. I think it looks awesome painted black behind the amber bulb. Now that it is all done and since I do live in Florida, I give in about an hour until I know if the glue sealed itself or not...
Phee-thanks for the write it, I planned on just fixing the condensation from one light to changing the whole look and attitude of the car!

HOTT!! Everyday it is SUPPOSED to rain, but everyday I do not seen any. This morning the weatherman said we were going to have some sever storms in our area but all I have is a hott @$$ sun with a ton of heat... no rain. So, don't get your hopes down if you hear it is going to rain because our weathermen are only right when a hurricane is coming.
