Once the headlight is removed you will need to remove the bulbs/screws that are on the back side of it. Then take out the top rack in your oven. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees. Place the headlights in the oven on a cookie sheet one at a time. Bake for 10 min. Once out of the oven take a small flat head scew driver and pull the headlight apart. Heating it up in the oven loosened the adhesive that holds the light together. I then removed all of the adhesive off of both pieces. Take the silver bezel out. At that point you can take the orange reflector out and paint the bezel black. I used a flat black high heat engnie paint. Then to put the headlight back together I used an auto/marine adhesive. Took me a couple of days to do it because I wasnt really in any big hurry to get it done. I waited 24 hrs to put the headlights back in the car so the adhesive could dry. One a scale of 1-10 10 being the hardest I would say this is a 4. It changes the looks of the front of the car alot. It gives it an aggressive look.
