i know the painting part isnt that tough, its the re-sealing of the lights that im worried about. I would hate to see leaks, etc. later down the road

Ahhhh I see...I was totally confused as to what you meant. I thought you might have ment some eyebrows or something of the like. But now I see what you ment. Those that Mr. Zipps does look kick *** on the 06 lights. I might just have to take mine apart and do it now.
The headlamps can be resealed with silicone for windows and bought at any automotive supply shop. You basically have to heat the headlamp assembilies in the oven to get them apart then paint them, then stick them in the oven again once dried, then reassemble them and finally apply some silicone to the outside bead. I would just do them myself. Easy enough.

BTW ---The butyl sealers are better than the silicones, butyl is self leveling, so it will ooze into the nooks and crannys, where as silicone will not flow into hidden openings
Guys I did mine, and they came out awsome. One thing to note and please do this. Let the paint dry before you place it in the oven!!!!!!
If not, the paint might melt onto the lens and you will hae to clean the inside of the lens. Once touched, it will NEVER be as clear as it was before it was touched. Good luck to all.
If you are in S.FL I will be more than happy to help you guys paint yours.
