Default want to paint my 06+ bixenon headlights

so i've been searching for the last three hours on here for info, pics, write ups...

i've come to the conclusion that i don't want to do it myself. i've done this before with a friend and i hate how the silicone looked very messy, i might not seal up and get condensation which i would be pissed since you have to open it up and completely clean the inside lense.

it seems that CinCity and Mr. Zipps are no good anymore. so is Clear Corners.com my only choice now? I want a flawless job with a matte black.

Anyone can chime in any other places are people, let me know. Mind you, i'm very **** and am a perfectionist. i want it to be perfect. No scratches, no scuffs, good seal, perfect painting.

Thanks.

I used Lightwerks.net for mine and several friends (Z's and non Z's alike) and all came out great. Fair pricing (contact them), on time, no BS, and worked with me to get what I wanted

you CAN do it your self. it is NOT that hard.

i did 4 sets so far. did not f-up any of them. flat black is not that hard to do.

i also believe i was the first to install a ccfl in a 06.

there are a few DIYs here . it will take you all day, but will cost you $20
