i know there have been posts on painting the 'inside' of your headlights, but none of the pics work when i searched because the posts were too old... i want to do this, but i suck at the kind of work that a project like this would involve.

so, first question, if you have pics of painted headlights, can you post them?

and 2nd question
is there anyone who i could ship a pair of headlights to, that would be able to do it really well?
if there's no one who'd be willing to do it (i'd obviously compensate them for the work), is there anyone who could give me some reeeeally good directions, w/ pics and everything, so that i could attempt it?

and i guess 3rd, where can i buy an extra pair of headlights that i could ship to them (post-98)

Its not an easy mod to do. Cutting them open really wasnt that hard but it took a while. The hardest part I thought was trying to get them to seal after putting them back together. The one light sealed the first time with no problems. But the second one took about 5 times to seal it. And I still fog up sometimes during heavy rains.

Until I finish mine I've rejected the thought of doing others yet.

And IMHO don't paint the turn signal reflector red like that svt did.

i second that, i am pretty good at this kind of stuff but im a visual guy, someone who possibly has step by step pics even w/o instructions would make this cake for me
