I didn't forget. I left them both out on purpose. I've hated those things since I got the headlights. I was just always to lazy to take them out or replace them with led's

Make sure you prep them very carefully. Definitely sand things down and maybe even use some sort of an adhesion promoter in addition to the primer. I just used a primer, and although I didn't have any problems the paint seemed a tiny bit more fragile than I would have hoped. Other than that just take your time. This was a practice set for me. I'm working on a quad projector retrofit and I wanted to try painting the housings before attempting it on my big project.
