Default Taking headlights Apart

Alright, i know this question has been asked probably a million times, but I would like to know how to take my headlight apart, because I like the black JDM look but those headlights are expensive so i want to take the DIY route, and what kind of paint do I buy

Thanx in advance

Honestly, any will work. Depends on what kinda look you want... flat black? gloss? etc. etc.

Hey Lexusk8, That really helped but there was no help on removing condensation, how would I go about doing that if that problem does come up

Cool

Take it back apart, dry it out, & after melting it together, seal it 100% with silicon. Make sure the 2-3 vents on the back of the headlights & taillights are not plugged.

If you are planning to remove the condensation and clean up the headlights on the inside, then yes it is the same process.
