1. set your oven at 175 preheat and set them in for 10 min
2. get a razor knife gently cut along the seal you will see the tip of the knife poking through the glass
3. take a flat head screw driver and gently pry apart dont pull to hard or you will crack the glass also you will here a slight cracking sound that is just the glass prying off
4. once the headlight is apart mask of the inside light
5. chose your color of paint and spray .
6. put the glass back on the housing and get some clear Ext. caulking and seal back up.
This should only take about 45 min per head light to do a good job and not half @$$ing it if ya know what I mean. Also if you have any ? Email me at Jason.whited@insightbb.net GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!


You welcome
