painting the headlight housings black can lookin pretty sweet if you do it clean..
aint hard...generally..just take the headlight apart...with a heat gun....after that..tape off areas that need to stay clean....then, you can just paint the housing
or get a bit **** and sand the housing down so the paint can adhere easier...
put a couple coats...let dry.....then when you put back together...you gotta get some silicone..from local parts store
and let dry...for a long time...you can let dry in car..its coo....just be carefull with the silicone...it gets damn messy...
