Thanks! I started around 3 p.m., and didn't get done until 8 p.m. Wanted to make sure I had did it right since I only have one headlight lying around which I also painted black. Next project will be taking my taillights apart, and doing the same. I was going to do the tint method, but I think painting will be better.

lol well remember it was my first time doing it too, so once you know what you are doing it will be easy to do. It depends on if you have nothing to do which in this case I was lucky I was doing nothing lol. Besides the fact that it was 97 degrees here in FL today lol. So doing all this work in the house was good in the A/C lol.

Headlights look good.

On another note (with reference to the image with two GNC products):

You'll get better results with creatine monohydrate (GNC stuff is creatine hydrochloride, which has been, despite what they tell you at GNC, scientifically proven to be less effective when compared to monohydrate). Try SizeOn (Gaspari Nutrition) or Cell Mass (BSN).

Thanks for the compliment, and I will look into the other stuff also.

Difficulty

Nice Job! I have an all black coupe and would much rather go the painted route vs tint...how difficult was it to take the headlight apart?

You don't have to take the bumper fully off, but to take them apart. I baked them in the oven at 250 degrees for 10 mins. Take a flat head screw driver to undo the clips, and once the clips are undone. Just pull it apart. It was actually easy. Once the painting process is completed. Put it back together once the paint is dry, and put it back in the oven at 200 degrees for 5 mins. to put it back together.
