It wouldnt cost more than the can of paint u pay for if u do it yourself. Its pretty easy to open up the headlights. And ur car is black

Yeah it looks nice, but make sure you seal them back really good so u don't get a lot of moisture.

It looks good on silver/grays, black, and white cars. Red, green, blue, etc it looks a little "off" to me.

Damn this looks pretty nice. that white GS looks "milky" with those headlights. Does anybody know of a DIY thread where i can check out how to dismantle the headlights and reseal them together with precise info and help on minimizing moisture? Please and thanks!
