Black out your headlights? As you mean over-lays? Or you mean paint your inside headlight housing? If its overlays hit up o hella jdm or 1slowg35sedan, if its painted head-lights hit up blackoutg or ucla_bruin on myg37. ucla_bruin (Danny) is highly recommended, does it for a career and his career itself is engineering so he know what hes doing when he comes to play with head lights and led, painting for him is too simple.

His schedule is very book for alot of people want to get their lights done, but when he starts on your head-lights its within 2-4 days I assume and the prices are very affordable in my opinion. But doesn't hurt to PM him and ask him on myg37.

I just did mine.

I was nervous but they came out great! Take your time and I highly recommend Krylon Fusion. No need to sand or primer. Just spray, let it bond/dry, and then set it in the oven with the door open for like 5-10 mins.

Oh and watch the lense!! Don't scratch yours like I did. Also make sure to clean the inside and try to keep lint out when you reseal.

R&J won't be able to do it. They'll be able to paint the housing but Jesse said I'd have to open them up by my self.
