    Well, I blacked out the headlights today and it went pretty smoothly until the wife decided to help. I already had one headlight blacked out and had just disassembled the second when she asked in the cute way she does. "What can I do?":p So, I let her paint it. I explained HOW to do it but alas, what I ended up with was paint runs and uneven coating. So, I discretely touched it up as best I could without starting the water works. I did notice that once re-assembled it has a couple tiny spots where the chrome came off against the glue. Oh, well. It does look kick ass though. I hope I never have to do it again. I did re-install that little screw that is a pain in the ass to mess with. I figured it is better to have in there, then to not have it. The DIY info was very helpful. The tail lights come next.:confused:

    You can see the goof up on this one in the corners, when I was sticking it all back together the glue caught it a little. The wife didn't coat it well enough either. (but it is my fault, I let her do it.)

    I had my BHLM come out similar to yours. I waited about a month and corrected my mistake, came out great.

    I think if I put some eyebrows on it, it would be less noticeable. Don't be afraid to do it. It really isn't that hard, just time consuming.
