To start remove the headlights then remove the chrome clips all around,
put them in the oven to bake @ 350 degress for 5 mins NO MORE than That, to be on the safe side, as soon as you take them out be careful they will be HOTT you will need mittens and maybe a flathead screw driver , you just pull the glass from the plastic and let it cool on its own, I made the mistake of putting the glass in water and it broke into two. and to paint it just mask the center of the headlight area and paint around it , ive seen people paint the whole thing. lol. i suggest you use krylon fusion, its works great. after the paint is done, with a heat gun or hair dryer, activate the glue that is left on the joined areas till its warm and put them together again and put the little clips back on the headlights and put some clear sealant all around the headlight to avoid water getting in...and thats it..
PS. ive noticed that the light shines brighter by taking off the small metal piece that goes around the lighbulb inside......
also while having the headlights open you may want to add some city lights ...
