Satin black housings and pearl white shrouds.

What paint brand/primer did you use for these? Satin black krylon fusion?

The paint I've used is from automotivetouchup.com

Many others have used their stuff too it comes to you in spray cans ready to go color matched to your vehicle, they also offer the primer. On my personal headlights I used the Krylon fusion on the housings. Still looks excellent

Just finished mine last night. Thanks for this write up I would not have done it other wise, I think putting the front bumper back on by myself was the hardest part! Also just wanted to add I bought the car with clear film on the headlights
If you also have this, may be good to take it of so it doesn't melt. +1 rep

Great write up man, I'm growing Balls just watching your videos. I'm thinking about doing it next weekend, I figured, Valentine with the GF on Friday, and hopefully she'll leave me alone to do this on Saturday! But a quick question about warranty, I just got the car and I can't stand all that chrome. Will it void my warranty if I take apart my headlights? Anyone know? Thanks Ahead!

First, awesome DIY I did this tonight 250 let it go 12minutes and it came right apart. Yes it will void your warranty as far as malfunctions with your headlamps. They may also try to blame other electrical issues on you modifying your headlamps but, provided you don't cut wires and you seal it properly I don't see you having any issues.

Only issue I had with this is it is now night time and I'm unable to show off my lights...
