Painted my Headlights!!!
What a PITA!!!!
Should have paid Mr. Zipps since he's close to me but it came out pretty decent.
All you need is a friend and a oven
Here they are, it was nice out so I got to take some nice pics

nice change, bro... if you ever need to open them up again maybe try to get that strip off, or upgrade to the bi-xenon's
definitely an improvement, though.

I'm a little confused why you leave the middle chrome still. It would like a lot nicer if it was painted completele. Looks a lil wierd IMHO. Any info why?

because for 03-05 headlights painting that chrome section black would effect your light output. 06+ wouldnt because theyre projectors or wahtever you wanna call it.
