hard isnt the word..... alot of work? yes! Took me 3 hrs just to mask it all off. I was afraid to do it as well, considering if i'd screwed it up, id have to get new headlights. But overall i think it was 100% worth the time and effort.

They look nice :thumbup: Did you think of blackening your side markers too? they kinda look weird next to the black housing headlights.

you have to mask off what you dont want to paint... so i had to mask off the back of the housing(vertical) so that the light will reflect off onto the road as it always has. If you dont maks anything off, you will have 0(zero) light output.....
