Add me to this list as well. Sorry for sorta hijacking! Would like headlights(maybe), taillights, and clearcorners done. Maybe we can do it all together? Let me know when you find someone Chris. Thanks.

Considering that ur prolly going to spend as much as it costs for a used pair of 03-05 lights, how about doing what I did and get yourself an extra set (or just one headlamp) to practice on. Hopefully, any mistakes you might make, you'd make with the practice light(s) and figure out how to avoid the same thing on the actual set.

Either way, good luck.

I'd do it for you, but I live in the SF Bay Area.

Don't blow dry them. After they dry, throw them in the oven so they can cure a bit quicker.

If you put them back too soon your headlights you may get some of the paint chemicals out and into your lenses. Be patient.
