you don't. you find them on ebay already done for you!

not cheap but DAMN they'd look noice!!!!

they are paintable. put the headlights in a oven for about 3mins. like 350 should be good. if you have projectors then tape them off, or just remove. but if you have the regular reflector housing for bulbs then you probably need to read up on how they will affect your lighting. im not to sure, ive never actually done this before, but my partner has and he explained it too me

^^^^noooo dont do 350!! my fogs warped at 275...so i'd say 350 is not the best idea.

For my is250 headlamp, I was able to open it up at 200F for 7-10 minutes without any internal damages. Use flat black paint with 3 thin layers.

I believe I did 250F for 7 minutes. I wouldn't recommend doing it if this is new to you though.

I used black primer only and it turned out good.
