    At your house after you've finished making them. Alot of people have done that mod themselves. It's the "black headlight mod", but in whatever color you choose.

    not sketchy at all -- pretty easy... once you get past the fact that you're baking your headlights... :devil:

    but really... it's so easy a caveman could do it... :thumbsup:

    correct...

    1. Read the directions first.
    2. Follow all of the directions.
    3. Take your time.
    4. Wear gloves
    5. Seal it back well.

    you're going to want to buy the factory color from places like oempaints.com

    Getting it kind of close is going to look like ass -- get the right paint. The paint code is located on your drivers door jamb.
