very carefully. jk. just had to use small strips of tape and a lot of patience. i did the blackhousings on my 5th gen so i've had some experience.

how did you do that ?? can u explain ???
basically, just take off the headlights from the car. open up the headlights using a heat gun or an oven (i would recommend the heat gun because there's less risks involved). then tape off the parts where the light beam reflects. then paint, heat up the silicon so it can glue back together. then you're done!

looks good, i did mine too. Theres pics in my sig.

for the dude who broke a headlight trying to open it, (put it inthe oven for 5-7 min on about 225*) There is no risk in the oven! Just watch them.

what paint did you use? Where did you get it? Wally World?
I'm thinking of doing mine but if i screw up, uh oh!
I've tried the baking method before on clear corners and I messed up on 1 of the 3 sets I played with. Basically, I baked mine to get the orange reflector out. That was back in my younger days...how ghetto
