i've never heard ppl baking them to change the color but i'm sure i've never heard a lot of things that are out there. ppl DO bake their headlights to clean the inside though.

You're missing a step in this process. People "bake" the headlights in order to soften the sealing adhesive and separate the lens from the rest of the housing. Once this is done, they paint the inner chrome surrounds whatever colour they're using, and then reassemble and reseal the headlights.
