I'm actually going to give it a try myself. I have an extra headlight assembly.

One of our staffers actually does headlight retrofits (dangeris) and may be able to give you some ideas.

Bake the headlight in the oven to crack it open, paint the parts, reseal it all and enjoy.

You might want to check on the Z side at what Z33R350Z did to his headlights. Looks great. That might be what you are talking about.

Raul G in So. Cal does the best work in this area. You can ship it to him. Painted headlights are so common here.
