    Yes. All in the prep. Thorough sanding and very light coats each pass. I assuming you have a white truck because any other color probably wouldn't look too good IMO..

    If you end up going through with it, post up some pics. I have a white Taco and would be interested in doing the same thing. I would think the white headlights would look good!

    That blue looks sharp! Personally, I like the color-matched look instead of just blacking them out.

    I saw a white truck with white headlights in person and it convinced me to do mine! Now, I just need a free weekend to tear the truck apart...

    The eyelids come primed. You have to paint them.
