I was wanting to black out my 06 headlights because i have already smoked out my taillights and lower front reflectors, but i have painted eyelids, "madeyes". would i need to take these off before i bake them in the oven? I believe i would need to but taking those off and putting them back on does not sound fun and would probably leave some residue from the 3m tape. Anyone got any pictures of blacked out headlights on a lemans sunset Z? I think it would go good with my set up, i have dark smoked out taillights, same on the front relfectors, 15% tint on the windows, and putting on some black staggered 19's next week

Excuse the stupid new guy questions please ... I haven't gotten the courage to tackle this project yet, but I think I am going to soon. I assume this is the same for an 07?
Of the three items you did not paint, what is the thing in the top right? Of the two remaining items, is there any downfall to painting them? I thought I read on the earlier headlights that this would affect the brightness or use of the high beams, but I didn't see anything about it on the newer lights.
Thanks.

Alright awesome man, I also have one more question. If I dont put it back in, would the headlight show indents or any sort of hole where that lens should have clipped in? Basically what I mean is would it look like It was missing a piece of the assembly if I leave it out?

does yours have that clear lens on it? (the one that I was talking about a few posts up...I posted a pic of the lens) and also how about those clear-yellowish plastic turn signal pieces? I'm trying to figure out what i should and should'nt put back in the lights before I seal them up
