I've been painting headlights for people on this board for a while now and have done white, blue, and black. It's not hard and i've only been charging people $50 plus shipping The vette lights are a nice touch and very easy to match.

I don't have any pics of different colors, but i do have some of different styles. Honestly though, it's not hard AT ALL to do this. That's why I only charge $50. It's a damn shame people are paying $200+ for someone to do this. $20 for supplies and $30 for drinks

Did these not that long ago. Dude bought them used (notice scratch on left light) off ebay for super cheap and wanted me to fix them up for him. Bulbs were not in yet. Point is, it's easy enough for ANYONE to do this and i'd glady help anyone do it. I'm just here for the lazy guy who can do it, but just doesn't want to or have the time. Comes out perfect everytime.
