I don't think he wants to do them him self. I think he wants to get them done by a shop or something.

Why not? Very easy to do, and less than $50 to do it. Depending on how many spray cans he wants and sand paper. If I were him, one can duplacolor sandable primer, one can duplacolor flat black or gloss black, and he just needs 2 or 3 sandpaper. Should be $30 total

That's what I took from it too.

He may want to use a PC instead of a phone to type next time, might get his point across better.

Lol, I understood him the first time. But not worth spending 100+ when you can do it yourself and have pride after you accomplish it .. well that is, I know the first time I did my headlights I was amazed since it was my first experience lols

Maybe he's not that good at do it your self projects and would rather not ruin his headlights.. after all headlights are pretty pricey.

I'm with Will on this. The lights are pretty expensive. I'm sure i can paint the housings my self but I don't wanna eff them up & then have to buy new ones. I've been debating this issue for a year.

If you do this on your own let us now how it turns out. Im been debating this for sumtime also now. Im just as paranoid about effen up the lights. lol

It got to the point where i got all my tools ready. Emptied out the stove and pre heated the oven. Went to open the front bumper and walked right back in and chickened out lol. The DIY makes it look too easy smh....
